Summary
The anthology, written by an interdisciplinary team, deciphers the new postulate of "war capability" together with its prehistory as the introduction to a process that amounts to the massive militarisation of social relations. The focus is on the political decisions and media control processes with their consequences for the mass consciousness and, following the psychoanalytical tradition of the editorial team, for the (collective) unconscious.
