Frederic Jameson once characterized the Vietnam War as "the first terrible postmodernist war, " suggesting that it embodied or reflected the sensibility of an emerging historical epoch. But does it make sense to place a military conflict within a category of cultural and aesthetic periodization? Is it possible to see the Vietnam War as an expression and reflection of postmodernity -- what Jameson calls "the cultural logic of late capitalism"?

Thereby, and by the way in which O'Brien employs characteristics typical for postmodern fiction, the novel can be seen as an exemplary postmodern representation of the Vietnam War.

Although almost a quarter of a century has passed since the Vietnam War ended, the war seems as much a part of the American political [un]conscious today as it was during its course. While creative and "non-fiction" works written about the war abound, as do historical and sociological tracts, critical attention to the literature produced about the war, by Americans and South and North Vietnamese subjects, along with writers of other nationalities often viewing the war from a remove, has been sorely lagging. Many theories of Postmodernity aid our understanding of the "historical" moment that many authors writing about the Vietnam War attempt to "re"-construct. But the "post" in Postmodernism seems to imply a completion to the ideals of the Enlightenment, an idea easily attacked when one examines the large numbers of displaced and refugee, the inferior status of women and minorities, and the continuing political unrest in numerous countries. Thus, one needs greater sensitivity to local customs, events and individual plights of many "postmodern" subjects. My work seeks, then, to begin to fill in some of the gaps of critical inquiry.

Media, War and Postmodernity investigates how conflict and international intervention have changed since the end of the Cold War, asking why Western military operations are now conducted as high-tech media spectacles, apparently more important for their propaganda value than for any strategic aims. Discussing the humanitarian interventions of the 1990s and the War on Terror, the book analyzes the rise of a postmodern sensibility in domestic and international politics, and explores how the projection of power abroad is undermined by a lack of cohesion and purpose at home. Drawing together debates from a variety of disciplinary and theoretical perspectives, Philip Hammond argues that contemporary warfare may be understood as 'postmodern' in that it is driven by the collapse of grand narratives in Western societies and constitutes an attempt to recapture a sense of purpose and meaning.

The second chapter begins by looking at the increasing instability and fracturing of the subject in a post-industrial, postmodern context. This is then used to chart the development of the cyborg, and its role in the military. The cyborg is conceived as both a literal melding of man and machine, and as a kind of theoretical creature, which inserts humans as "biotic components" into larger cybernetic systems. Reactions against cyborging, by privileging the body, are also discussed.
