Militarising of Public Space and Culture in the United
States.The process of militarisation has a long history in the
United States and is varied rather than static, changing under
different historical conditions. Catherine Lutz defines it as
‘an intensification of the labor and resources allocated to
military purposes, including the shaping of other institutions in
synchrony with military goals. Militarization is simultaneously a
discursive process, involving a shift in general societal beliefs
and values in ways necessary to legitimate the use of force, the
organization of large standing armies and their leaders, and the
higher taxes or tribute used to pay for them. Militarization is
intimately connected not only to the obvious increase in the size
of armies and resurgence of militant nationalisms and militant
fundamentalisms but also to the less visible deformation of human
potentials into the hierarchies of race, class, gender, and
sexuality, and to the shaping of national histories in ways that
glorify and legitimate military action.
