HORNER. This seminar focuses on the representation of organized, state-sponsored violence in American popular media. Militarism, defined as "a political condition characterized by the predominance of the military in government or a reliance on military force in political or diplomatic matters," has been evaluated by historians and social theorists in a variety of contexts, for a range of purposes. In this class, we assess American militarism through imagery and narrative in popular media from 1968 to the present.
