In this dissertation, I examine the processes by which narratives of the domestic and combat spheres have been produced and sustained through the Global War on Terror. I pinpoint these gendered spheres to specific political developments within the United States and Iraq, as well as a connected narrative of traditional family values. Narrowing in on literary texts as cultural products of specific and disparate national and transnational movements, I analyze, compare, and link texts written by and/or about American female veterans or family members of veterans and Iraqi women who lived through the Iraq War. Some of the texts included in my project are Inaam Kachaci's The American Granddaughter (2011), Dunya Mikhail's Diary of a Wave Outside the Sea (2009) and The Iraqi Nights (2014), and Siobhan Fallon's You Know When the Men are Gone (2011). War literature has often focused on male experience and represented women as grieved mothers, victims, or "collateral damage." As women take on more combat roles in the United States' military, women's fictional and non-fictional accounts of the Iraq War have been systematically left out. More problematic is the dearth of literature addressing women's experiences living in war-torn countries, such as in Iraq following the American invasion in 2003. Oftentimes, female civilians become objects of media scrutiny and international sympathy, and the sidekicks in literary depictions, while their own voices and agency are ignored or forgotten. This project addresses a pressing contemporary issue: the blurring of the lines between combat and domestic spheres and the place in which women find themselves in our militarized world. While wartime discourse is often constructed specifically to create such boundaries between "home" and "combat," "safe" and unsafe," these boundaries have already begun to crumble in our age of drones and mediatization. A further, and consciously ethical, deconstruction of these boundaries can create the framework for a coalitional politics based on the irreducible vulnerability of American and Iraqi women in war. As an intervention in affect studies and trauma studies, my project builds upon work done by miriam cooke, Sarah Ahmed (2004), and Judith Butler (2004; 2009) on war, precarity, and vulnerability.
