商品描述
This book explores the variety of forms that individual heroism and sacrifice can take in the context of contemporary military conflicts. It addresses three key questions: How has an enduring ideal of heroism been transformed by the nature of modern warfare? Are we now witnessing the emergence of new forms of exemplary military behavior? And, have new ideals of heroism (and by association, sacrifice or bravery) been added to older forms in the recent past? The book advocates viewing the concept of military heroism as a moral category, in which its theoretical definition and empirical practice reflect those factors that are seen as being vital for society itself. The key theoretical and topical challenges addressed in the respective chapters focus on how ideas of heroism become entwined with issues of individualization (bolstered by the cultural assumptions of neo-Liberalism), the spread of the human rights discourse, and the judicialization, marketization and mediatization of armed forces. The book was written by experts on military studies, including many who are currently active military personnel. It includes contributions from a variety of disciplines, e.g. anthropology, sociology, psychology, and political science.

這本書探討了在當代軍事衝突背景下個人英勇和犧牲所能呈現的多種形式。它提出了三個關鍵問題：現代戰爭的性質如何改變了英勇的持久理想？我們現在是否正在見證新形式的優秀軍事行為的出現？最近是否有新的英勇理想（以及相關的犧牲或勇敢）被添加到舊有形式中？本書主張將軍事英勇的概念視為一種道德範疇，其中其理論定義和實證實踐反映了被視為對社會本身至關重要的因素。各章節所涉及的關鍵理論和主題挑戰集中在英勇觀念如何與個體化問題（在新自由主義文化假設的支持下）、人權論述的傳播以及軍隊的司法化、市場化和媒體化等問題交織在一起。本書由軍事研究專家撰寫，其中包括許多現役軍事人員。它涵蓋了多個學科的貢獻，例如人類學、社會學、心理學和政治學。
