商品描述
Serving in the military is often a disruptive event in the lives of those who join, precipitating a reassessment of the service member's ethical sensibilities or, tragically, resulting in lasting moral injury and trauma. The military experience compels them to navigate multiple identities, from citizen to warrior and back. Their religious identity, sometimes rooted in a civilian religious community, can be altered by military participation.
Through a series of inductive, in-depth qualitative interviews, Suitt explores how varied religious resources and potentially traumatic events affect the lives of post-9/11 veterans who once or currently identified as Christian. Adding to existing research on moral injury, it traces how military chaplains, ethics education, just war theory rhetoric, and formal religious practice supplied by the military alter the course of service members' moral lives. These narrative trajectories reveal how veterans use Christian faith or other systems of meaning-making to understand war and their identities as service members and veterans.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
在軍中服役往往對加入者的生活造成干擾,引發對服役成員道德觀念的重新評估,或者悲劇性地導致持久的道德傷害和創傷。軍事經驗迫使他們在公民和戰士之間航行多重身份。他們的宗教身份,有時根植於民間宗教社區,可能會因軍事參與而改變。
通過一系列歸納、深入的質性訪談,蘇伊特探討了後9/11時期曾經或現在認同基督教的退伍軍人的生活如何受到不同的宗教資源和潛在的創傷事件的影響。這項研究補充了現有的有關道德傷害的研究,追蹤了軍事牧師、倫理教育、正義戰爭理論言論以及軍方提供的正式宗教實踐如何改變服役成員的道德生活軌跡。這些敘事軌跡揭示了退伍軍人如何運用基督教信仰或其他意義創造系統來理解戰爭以及他們作為服役成員和退伍軍人的身份。
