“…However, individuality and malleability were not qualities that would serve the needs of militarising nations in the Second World War. Both Grandstaff (2004) and Leff (1991) note that notions of masculinity were suddenly changed in the early 1930s to emphasise "ultimate sacrifice" and ideals of a self-proving male who flawlessly demonstrated the characteristics of patriotism, loyalty and manly courage.…”

“…In the early 1940s, this new rhetoric of masculinity permeated literature, film, advertising and political speech making (Grandstaff, 2004). Indicative of the latter, was the oratory of Jonathan Daniels (1941), the personal assistant to Franklin Roosevelt, who argued that the newly realised World War Two soldier would enable his nation to become "magnificently male again" (Polenberg, 1968, p. 3).…”

“…The ubiquity of representations of the military across popular visual media works continually to circulate and reproduce certain themes, concepts and frames of reference through which the civilian majority make sense of the military (Rech unpublished data). Examples in this vein are relatively numerous, with studies sited broadly across contemporary and popular media, and include analysis of newspapers (Jenkings et al 2007(Jenkings et al , 2008aWoodward et al 2010a), trade magazines (Roderick 2009), public service advertisements (Grandstaff 2004); memoirs Woodward 2008), and television and film (Hoskins 2005;Mirzoeff 2005;Shapiro 2008;Ó Tuathail 2005;Dodds 2006Dodds , 2008ac.f. 2008b;Woodward et al 2010b, forthcoming).…”

Military Occupations: Methodological Approaches and the Military–Academy Research Nexus

Military occupations are continually evolving in relation to the geopolitical changes of societies, their conflicts and conflict management strategies, and technological developments in military hardware and software. Military occupations studies undertaken by the academy have been key to informing government strategy towards the maintenance of functioning armed forces. Since the 1950s, such studies have prioritised 'top-down' quantitative sociological methodologies. This paper reviews these studies and the role of the dominant Institutional ⁄ Occupational model. The paper then considers less influential 'bottom up' interpretive methodological studies of military occupations. It is suggested that the reliance on 'top down' modelling approaches has led to the paucity of studies describing the range and experiential detail of military occupations. The Military-Academy nexus, and the priorities of the discipline of sociology are suggested as reasons for this emphasis.
