Description

By using a poststructuralist feminist perspective and by analysing empirical cases from a Western 'war on terror' cultural context, Ahall seeks to demonstrate that motherhood is not simply a discourse denying women agency in political violence, but also central as to how agency in political violence is enabled. Motherhood and maternalism is 'everywhere' in war stories and, consequently, instrumental in order to understand how representations of female agency in political violence are gendered.
