Civil–Military Entanglements
Berghahn Books (Verlag)
978-1-78920-195-6 (ISBN)
Military-civilian encounters are multiple and diverse in our times. Contributors to this volume demonstrate how military and civilian domains are constituted through entanglements undermining the classic civil-military binary and manifest themselves in unexpected places and manners. Moreover, the essays trace out the ripples, reverberations and resonations of civil-military entanglements in areas not usually associated with such ties, but which are nevertheless real and significant for an understanding of the roles war, violence and the military play in shaping contemporary societies and the everyday life of its citizens.
Birgitte Refslund Sørensen until her death in 2019, was Associate Professor at the Department of Anthropology in Copenhagen. With her background in conflict studies and political anthropology, Sørensen had been both practitioner and researcher on issues of post-conflict reconstruction for the United Nations Research Institute for Social Development and the Danish Refugee Council. Her latest publications include ”Veterans’ Homecomings”, Current Anthropology; ”Public commemorations of Danish Soldiers”, Critical Military Studies.
