Figuring Violence explores the roles of imagination and affects like apprehension, affection, admiration, gratitude, pity, and anger in sustaining contemporary American militarism. The book charts the politics of wartime sentimental investment in civilian children, military children, military spouses, veterans with PTSD and TBI, Guantánamo Bay detainees, and military dogs.
