Reviews

'In this valuable contribution to the emerging field of scholarship at the nexus of experience, aesthetics, and war, Ahall and Gregory provide a unique collection of essays that engage questions of what it means to be human, to whom we grant that standing, and how we might first admit, and then make sense of, the darkly pleasurable horrors of violence. The authors offer a range of methodologies to better understand how we might theorise emotions, from the interpretation of popular cultural texts and artefacts to 'street ethnography', showing that there is much to be learned from mixed-method, multidisciplinary approaches to the tangled emotionality of war, which is - of course - always already political.' - Laura J. Shepherd, Associate Professor of International Relations at UNSW Australia
