Motioning the International
The “mobilities turn” across the social sciences has inspired critical engagements with the movement of people and things in international political sociology, as well as critical international relations (IR) more broadly. Yet, these engagements with the politics of varied (im)mobilities have paid less attention to the theoretical implications of motion, mobility, and movement as analytical and political tools. This article brings together a set …
Decolonising the psychology curriculum
Over the past decade, there have been increasing calls to decolonise the Psychology curriculum. However, decolonisation initiatives have been criticised for being superficial and insufficient. In this study we explored Psychology faculty members’ perceptions and experiences with decolonisation at a UK university. Twenty participants engaged in semi-structured interviews, discussing views on higher education, current issues in Psychology, and deco…
Contested sites of solidarity
Over the last decade, ‘stepping into the lives of refugees’ and ‘walking in their shoes’ through refugee simulations have become increasingly popular advocacy tools among humanitarian actors. Driven by the highly emotive language of care and compassion, these events invite participants to actively engage with lived experiences of refugees, to feel and to sense what they endure, and to encounter their realities in a deeply embodied and intimate wa…
Broadening' and 'deepening' collective security in times of health crisis
Since the end of the Cold War, the UN's collective security model has been questioned as to whether it has been well equipped to respond to the changing landscape of global security. By using the UN Security Council's response to the COVID-19 pandemic as a case study, this paper traces the discursive contestations of the traditional understanding of the UN Charter-based collective security model. It examines what meanings the member states collec…
The world-making power of borders
Border hotels
‘Border hotels’ have come to prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic as spaces of detention and quarantine. Despite the longer history of using hotels for immigrant detention, efforts to contain outbreaks have led to the proliferation of hotels used for border governance. Ad hoc quarantine facilities have been set up around the world acting as choke points for mobility. The use of hotels as sites of detention has also gained significant attention…
The Politics of Temporality and the Ethos of Open Societies
More-than-human approaches to borders unsettle the anthropocentric reading of borders and bordering practices. They call for radically different imaginings of shared vulnerabilities and co-existence on the border. What remains marginal in these discussions is the way in which more-than-human borders continue to neglect social differences and unequal power relations among different (human) individuals. The question is not simply about the hierarch…
More-Than-Human Borders
Despite a growing interest in posthuman theory within political geography over the last two decades, the sub-disciplinary focus of critical border studies has seen a slower engagement with more-than-human entanglements. In this introductory paper to the special section, we ask whether the militarisation of borderlands, increasing surveillance of mobility, growing violence against refugees and asylum seekers, pandemic bordering, and mass displacem…
Forum
This collection of essays seeks to theorize the politics of the COVID-19 pandemic in international relations (IR). The contributions are driven by questions such as: How can theorizing help us understand these unsettled times? What kind of crisis is this? What shapes its politics? What remains the same and what has been unsettled or unsettling? In addressing such questions, each of the participants considers what we may already know about the pan…
Three lines of pandemic borders
In September 2020, at the new Kara Tepe camp on the Greek island Lesvos, 240 refugees tested positive for the coronavirus (BBC 2020). The temporary camp was built after a catastrophic fire had brok
Rethinking border walls as fluid meshworks
We tend to see border walls as stable concrete fortifications. This article seeks to offer an alternative understanding of walls by suggesting a shift in border studies from network thinking to meshwork thinking. Despite references to multiplicity, concepts of networks and assemblages in border studies continue to provide neat narratives of walls. This article reimagines the border beyond sovereign–disciplinary–biopolitical networks and assemblag…
"Protests as "Events
Introduction: The concept of "event" offers a valuable lens to understand the discursive contestations in and around protests. Events create ruptures that disturb the logic of continuity and open up new way of thinking and talking about the past and the future. Drawing on this concept, this article analyzes the 2013 protests in Turkey and Brazil. It investigates how the causes of these protests were framed and debated in each country and how thes…
Borders, Detention, and the Disruptive Power of the Noisy-Subject
Violent borders are one of the most pressing ethical and political questions of our time. This article seeks to challenge the violent construction of borders through the concept of noise. Drawing on Michel Serres's philosophy of noise and Marie Thompson's emphasis on its affectiveness, the article shows the generative, disruptive, and affective power of noise at the border. I argue that noise creates a disruption in the system and, in doing so, c…
