We live in a time of “permanent war.” Military discourse is present in the everyday language of our social and political institutions and by the dependency of global economies on war or its imminent threat. In this course, we will consider theories of “permanent war,” notions of “wartime” and “peacetime” as they are imagined by writers in the 20th and 21st centuries, and the way that fiction and non-fiction writing deals with questions such as the concept of the civilian and issues such as forced migration.
