“…Over the past 20 years, researchers have studied the hyper-masculine form of masculinity, often attributed to the military culture. Several authors refer to it as hegemonic masculinity (Connell & Messerschmidt, 2005;Demetriou, 2001;Higate & Hopton, 2005;McCreary, 1994). Hegemonic masculinity was defined by Higate and Hopton as a form of masculinity that "boys and men are generally encouraged to aspire to" (p. 433).…”

“…Hegemonic masculinity was defined by Higate and Hopton as a form of masculinity that "boys and men are generally encouraged to aspire to" (p. 433). Higate and Hopton (2005) claimed that this type of masculinity is characterized by "the interrelationship of stoicism, phallocentricity, and the domination of weaker individuals, competitiveness and heroic achievement" (p. 433). McCreary (1994) simply stated that this form of masculinity is an attempt by the male to distance himself from everything feminine.…”

The US National Center for PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) (2013) discusses PTSD as the reaction to a life threatening event or trauma, resulting in reactions such as insomnia and/or recollection of upsetting memories may not go away or get worse. This paper will examine combat/war-induced PTSD in veterans, society's socialization to PTSD by the media, and describe the implications of this disorder on the Canadian veterans' quality of life.Significant themes associated with the military culture such as masculinity and stigma, and veteran's particular experiences with PTSD, will also be discussed. In this paper, the author will introduce the qualitative research methodology of narrative inquiry and its suitability to examining the unique male military population, a population that has been depicted as an overly masculinized one that personifies hegemonic masculinity and veterans diagnosed with PTSD.

“…I also draw upon earlier research on the constructions of violent militant masculinities (Eriksson Baaz and Stern 2008Whitworth 2004;Enloe 1990;Higate and Hopton 2005). 3 Theoretically, this approach means inquiring into lived experiences (cf.…”

“…These accounts have been tempered recently by more nuanced work which recognises the changing nature of the relation between militarism and masculinities (Higate and Hopton, 2005;Adelman, 2009); the heterogeneous masculinities involved in military activities (Morgan, 1994;Barrett, 1996), especially across the combat and support roles (Woodward and Winter, 2007 p. 63) (Higate, 2000(Higate, , 2001(Higate, , 2003. The focus in this work is the often problematic transition from military to civilian life and the propensity for ex-service personnel towards homelessness.…”

This article re-orientates work on the material culture of war by considering military material culture beyond conflict and demonstrating how military material culture has extended social lives and passes through value regimes, as do many forms of material culture. The article focuses on end-of-life military things, specifically the neglected field of naval vessels. It shows how the social and physical death of naval ships connects to residue military masculinities, particularly through the complexities of souvenir value. Drawing on ethnographic research with veterans’ associations, the authors chart how naval ships become ghostly and how this connects with the salvage of personal mementos, often of a military domestic; they go on to describe the ambivalence of these accommodations within a civilian domestic. The article shows how collective practices of ship memorialization disclose a hierarchy of souvenir value and how souvenir salvage constitutes a distributed sociality from the fragments of destruction to own the memory of what is being destroyed. The authors argue that visioning and visualizing the destruction of naval vessels makes ex-naval personnel witnesses to an object death and highlights the fact that resource recovery regimes need to be re-thought through reincarnation; they also show how the reincarnation of ‘great things’ does not always become them.
