<strong>Lecture Abstract:</strong> In the modern period, we assume
that there is a necessary and comfortable gap between civilian and
military life that keeps war contained in specific spaces at a
distance. Yet this division obscures the blurry middle ground
between military and civilian culture, particularly in the arenas of
architectural design, techno-culture, digital arts and
entertainment, and many fields and disciplines. "Everyday
Militarization" poses a series of questions such as: When is wartime
and where does it occur? Can wars be said to begin and end or do
they disturb our sense of time and continuity? Are the boundaries of
battlefields discrete or do they move into other spaces and sites?
This talk will focus on the visual culture of wartime to explore
examples of continuity and disruption in the space and time of
modernity.<br>
