{"product_id":"i-am-army-book-wallea-eaglehawk-9780648799962","title":"I Am ARMY","description":"The identity of ARMY, the dynamic global fanbase of Korean music group BTS, is complex and nuanced. I Am ARMY locates, documents and celebrates just some of the unique identities within the diverse fandom. A collection of autoethnographic essays, each chapter in this book contains an ARMY experience which transcends the personal entirely. As such they sit as part of a broader socio-political examination and critique of the world we live in today. I Am ARMY gives the reader a chance to immerse themselves in the world of an ARMY living an entirely different life, and the opportunity to understand just how socially constructed and influenced our lived-experiences truly are. Co-editor Eaglehawk frames the socio-political stories in I Am ARMY as accounts of 'practicing revolutionaries' and introduces BTS as 'participatory revolutionaries'. Drawing upon universal truths detailed throughout the book, Eaglehawk develops a set of components for what she calls the 'Love Yourself, Speak Yourself Revolution' which is currently underway. \u003cp\u003eWithin this book, you will find the answers to questions such as: why are fandoms devalued?, how can I learn to love myself? and how can I be a feminist and an ARMY? Above all else, you will find a little piece of yourself written on the page; for each of us are ARMY, each of us are human. I Am ARMY serves as a reminder that despite how disconnected we may feel from the world, how disheartened or downtrodden, we are not alone; ARMY or not. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEssaysEmerging victorious by Naazneen and Tagseen SamsodienThe day that didn't break me by Anna ShafferFrom fake love to self-love by Manilyn GumapasHow BTS contributes towards an awareness of myself by Lily LowI am ARMY, I am revolutionary by Wallea EaglehawkFinding BTS gave me back myself by Courtney LazoreSpeaking myself by Sharon ChenARMY as a feminist identity by Keryn Ibrahim","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50097586667793,"sku":"CIN0648799964G","price":102.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50357015183633,"sku":"CIN0648799964VG","price":10.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0648799964.jpg?v=1750699848","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/i-am-army-book-wallea-eaglehawk-9780648799962","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
