Mark Gilks has published an article entitled ‘Narrating Being through Phenomena: the phenomenological and sociological insights of Harry Parker’s Anatomy of a Soldier’ in the journal Social Epistemology.
The article offers a phenomenological interpretation of Harry Parker’s (2016) novel/autobiography, Anatomy of a Soldier.
Narrated from the perspective of inanimate objects, this “novel” is a remarkable literary intervention which can facilitate a deeper understanding of agency and motivation in war.
This article will be the basis for one of the empirical chapters of Mark’s PhD thesis at BSIS.
