Sociology and the Commemoration of the War Dead

Laurie Taylor’s Thinking Allowed features an interesting interview with Anthony King of the University of Exeter. This should be highly usable for Culture and Identity and for Religion. King’s interests in masculinity led him first to study football hooliganism, then the military and now the military and death. The interview is worth listening to and there’s also a link to one of King’s articles in the British Journal of Sociology - which is free and can be downloaded - pity that doesn’t happen more often. Well, I managed to get the whole article as a pdf. Perhaps it’s just a special offer?
