P@X online bulletin (#18)

In spite of the fact that women are not usually a direct actor in military confrontations, often the biopolitics of war takes the female body as a particularly vulnerable target.

This issue of P@x focuses on this controversial and difficult topic in the realm of the reflection on the history of war.
