This piece aims to examine militarization in the American context. The first section traces the theoretical contours of us militarization and its conditions of possibility. The second section concentrates on the hold and imprint of militarization on society and puts forth that we must pay close attention to the spaces, objects, and sites of security that together make up the parameters of everyday life. Studying popular culture as main axis to show how national life is transformed and inhabited by militarization allows us to notice the pernicious banalization of the anchoring of the military fact in the social fabric of American everyday life, if not of the militarization as “American way of life” with war being propagated and consumed as entertainment.
