Danish war veterans: Public images and individual strategies

    Activity: Talk or presentation typesLecture and oral contribution

    Description

    This presentation discusses how formerly deployed soldiers (veterans) emerged as a new object of politics, policy-making and public discourse, and how the veterans themselves navigated these new and shifting terrains to achieve social recognition. It shows how these entangled processes interweave embodied experiences, political agendas, moral values, bio-medical paradigms, as well as material objects and social practices.
