War - Eksamensemne
In this course we have worked with war and on the experience of the individual soldier's experience in war and after war.
Homecoming and the delayed reactions
Modern day warfare with drones and how has that changed the game for the soldiers.
We have discussed the problems of PTSD and reactions when coming home and how to deal with post war experiences.
We have read several short stories from different periods and related to different wars, "Be Here Now", The Best Death Ever", "Redeployment", Soldier's Home", "The Balm of Gilead Tree".
We have also read an interview with a drone war operator "The Kills People from..." and a poem about the Ukraine war by Simon Armitage, "Resistance".
We watched the movie "American Sniper", Clint Eastwood, 2014 with focus on characterizations, setting and conflict and how the war was portrayed in the movie.
