“Invading Your Hearts and Minds”: Call of Duty® and the (Re)Writing of Militarism in U.S. Digital Games and Popular Culture by Frédérick Gagnon

“…Accordingly, our goal is to conduct a content analysis (Sisler 2008) of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 to show how these games contain images and narratives that (1) resonate with and reinforce a tabloid imaginary of post-9/11 geopolitics (Debrix 2008); (2) glorify military power and elicit consent for the idea that state violence and wars are inevitable; and (3) encourage our myopia by depicting a sanitized vision of war and downplaying the negative consequences of state violence (Stahl 2006). …”

Grappling With Complexity in Research with the Military Police The Far-Right and Anthropology’s Civilizing Mission by Tomás Salem

“…Abstract: This text examines the challenges of carrying out fieldwork with the Military Police, an institution responsible for systematically targeting Rio de Janeiro’s favela populations with extreme levels of racialized state violence. It discusses how anthropologists can describe police officers in ways that avoid the pitfalls of binary thinking: of reproducing a cosmology of war that assumes a strict division between good and evil and instead produce accounts that hold space for complexity and change, without assuming a moral relativist position.…”

A War at the End of Empire: The Militarization of America and Matt Gallagher’s Empire City by Ari Räisänen

“…I use Matt Gallagher’s novel Empire City (2020) as a case study to explore how contemporary veteran literature interrogates the relationship between state violence at home and abroad. The novel’s use of alternate history allows it to interrogate the domestic implications of the War on Terror and foreground the repressed imperiality of U.S. history. …”

État de droit et droits indigènes dans le contexte d’une post-dictature : portrait de la criminalisation du mouvement mapuche dans un Chili démocratique by Fabien Le Bonniec

“…The emergence of discourses and events that claim the Mapuche as social and political actors intensified the opposition with the State and state agents. The state violence which results from this confrontation is not a recent phenomenon, it's part of a secular relationship of domination/subordination between Chilean and indigenous societies, based on obsolete national ideologies that the Mapuche are questioning today in order to free themselves both physically and symbolically.…”

I (Don’t) See You: Absence, Omissions, and Spectrality in the Works of Ishtiyaq Shukri by Iqra Raza

“…The paper examines the corporeal absence within the said texts as a template for understanding the modus operandi of the necropolitical regime and the extremities of state violence it implies. It explores the implications of spectrality within texts saturated by instances of taxonomical categorisations of the body and examines spectrality alongside the implications of absences and omissions in order to reveal how the three interact and inform each other. …”
