“…This perspective was adopted by scholars in the field (e.g. Dahlkild-Öhman and Eriksson, 2013;Pease, 2011;Sasson-Levy, 2011;Zanoni and Janssens, 2007) and saw the emergence of a body of work that examined systematic workplace disparities in the control and power of organizational goals, processes, resources and outcomes.…”

“…4 It is also viewed as a pivotal force in forming masculine identities (Enloe 2000;Sasson-Levy 2011). The military is generally seen as a framework that benefits men at the expense of women, building a construct of patriarchy that is mutually beneficial to the military sphere and to men as a gender category.…”

“…The harnessing of the civilian population to the military effort brought about national admiration for the image of the warrior, with all that this entails. In turn, this caused combat soldiers to be regarded as national heroes and the embodiment of patriotism and good citizenship-the gold standard for all Israeli men (Ben-Eliezer 2012;Sasson-Levy 2006, 2011.…”

“…Still based on physical stamina and strength, masculine identity continues to relate more to traditional, hegemonic components, including that of the warrior, than to feminine components, such as displays of emotion (Naveh 2010). Consequently, any examination of masculinity in Israel must address it within the context of the IDF and the combat soldier (Sasson- Levy 2006Levy , 2011. 7 Juxtaposed to the masculine representation of Israeli men is the way Israeli society views children.…”

In this article we examine the representation of combat soldiers in Israel through their media image. Using two major national Israeli newspapers, we follow the presentation of the Israeli combat soldier over three decades. Our findings indicate that the combat soldier begins as a hegemonic masculine figure in the 1980s, shifts to a more vulnerable, frightened child in the 1990s, and attains a more complex framing in the 2000s. While this most recent representation returns to a hegemonic masculine one, it includes additional, 'softer' components. We find that the transformation in the image of the Israeli soldier reflects changes within Israeli society in general during the period covered and is also indicative of global changes in masculinity to a certain extent. We conclude by analyzing two possible explanations: the perception of the threat and changes in the perception of masculine identity.

“…Moskos et al 2000;Sookermany 2011). Other studies have focused on ethical and moral issues, such as how states convince young people to go to war (Sasson-Levy 2007), issues of gender and sexuality and the construction of masculinities and their consequences: how values and norms of masculinity are structured by military training in models of military socialization, and how they in turn play their part in shaping discourses of masculinity in society as a whole (Barrett 1996;Morgan 1994;Newsinger 1997;Woodward 1998). Other studies have considered the social and psychological effects of particular military training programmes (Lande 2007;Cohen 2011;Samimian-Darash 2012) involving rites of passage and group bonding (Winslow 1999).…”

An Anthropology of Landscape

PrefaceThe research for this book took place from 2008 to 2012. It ran in tandem with an archaeological project involving a fieldwork survey of the entire heathlands, and excavations of multiple sites during the same time period directed by Chris Tilley. It is important to acknowledge this in terms of the discussion of this being a contested landscape. After moving to the area and having decided to visit all the prehistoric cairns, Chris went walking on the heathlands with Tor, his dog. These became walks with a purpose. After seeing all the cairns he decided to walk between them in order to study their relationship to each other and the unique Pebblebed landscape in which they are situated. He quickly became fascinated with the pebbles and how these bright and rounded objects transform what otherwise might appear, to the casual observer, to be a quite monotonous landscape. Realizing that this was unlikely to be just a contemporary appreciation, he then initiated the project. From an archaeologist's perspective he is trying to create a story of the past in the present: a story involving the topography; a story involving the pebbles, the land, the sea, the sky, the sun; and integrate these things into some kind of sense of how it might have been, all the time trying to link past and present. And so the anthropological project investigating the meaning and significance of the contemporary heathland and its pebbles arose. All the research was carried out by Chris and Kate Cameron-Daum. It was very much a collaborative exercise in which both of us were engaged in participant observation and interviews with over one hundred informants. Chris and his family were living in the research area and Kate was staying with them: this had definite advantages in that the field site was quite literally entered when leaving the front door of the house. This permitted sustained engagement with both the heathland landscape and those working there or visiting it throughout the years and in all weathers and seasons. This facilitated, we believe, something of an intimate 'insider's' (the punctuation marks to be emphasized) knowledge of the landscape and the establishment of ongoing personal contacts and relationships. During the course of the archaeological research and the An AnThropology of lAnDsCApe viii viii viii anthropological research discussed here the landscape has become a powerful element in the formation of our own biographies and identities. We both wanted to study anthropology as students because we were interested in the lives of others and how an understanding of them might lead us to reflect on our own lives and experiences. Although the two cannot be separated, we did not choose to study anthropology to learn about the anthropologists conducting the research, their lives, trials and tribulations in the field. We take it as axiomatic that it is from the ethnographic self that accounts arise, that self-reflexivity in research is fundamental and that all our findings are subjective (Clifford and Marcus 1986; Clifford 1...
