• W2953642408 abstract "New military ideologies of permanent and boundless war are radically intensifying the militarization of urban life. Such processes, which I label collectively the new military urbanism, add contemporary twists to longstanding militaristic transformations – political, cultural and economic – which together serve to normalize war and preparations for war. Indeed, in many cases, the transformations associated with the new military urbanism merely extend and revivify the tropes of urban militarization, securitization, Manichean imagination and fear-mongering that were such a central feature of the Cold War (and, indeed, of earlier periods as well). Such processes are broadly defined by military sociologists as ones of ‘militarization’. Michael Geyer defines this as ‘the contradictory and tense social process in which civil society organizes itself for the production of violence’ (1989: 79). Such a process is inevitably complex and multidimensional. Its components, however, are as old as war itself. These invariably involve the social construction of powerful, imagined divisions between the ‘inside’ and ‘outside’ of a nation (or other geographic area) and the orchestrated demonization of enemies and enemy places beyond such boundaries. However, practices of militarization also involve the normalization of military paradigms of thought, action and policy; (attempts at) the aggressive disciplining of bodies, places and identities seen not to befit the masculinized notions of nation, citizenship or body (and the connections between them); and the deployment of wide ranges of propagandist material which romanticizes or sanitizes violence as a means of righteous revenge or of achieving some God-given purpose. Above all, militarization and war involve attempts to forge powerful new links between cultures, states, technologies and citizenship. Invariably, these work as means to orchestrate the rapid creative destruction of inherited geographies, political economies, technologies and cultures, either deliberately or unintentionally. This raises an important question. What, exactly, is new about what I have termed recently ‘new military urbanism’? How is its constitution through the landscapes, cultures and experiences of urban life different from the intensely militarized experiences of, say, Cold War or total warcities? In what follows I will attempt to be precise about these important questions. I will do this by pointing to six related features of the new military urbanism which bring palpably new dimensions to the militarization of urban life in the contemporary period. While space constraints limit me to focusing largely on US military, popular and urban culture, other examples are occasionally mentioned in passing." @default.
