Definition(s)

  • The concept of militarism refers primarily to making war; the demarcation of enemies and allies; revolutionary struggle; conflagrations between states or factions within states; military buildup; arms development and deployment; conduct and discipline of military personnel; land, air, and sea combat; the deployment of fighters into a war front; idealized, and masculine ownership of soldier courage; valorization of war in the political realm; and the influential power of the abstractions and euphemisms of war employed by defense analysts. At the forefront of most depictions of militarism, war, and mothering is the mater dolorosa (“mother of sorrows”). [Source: Encyclopedia of Motherhood; Militarism and Mothering]
