Researching War, Feminist Solidarity, and Transnational Dynamics – Introductory Remarks
The Historicity of International Politics
The past is constantly present, not least in the study of imperialism and imperial forms of power in international politics. This volume shows how historical trajectories have shaped international affairs covering a wide range of imperial and (post-) colonial settings in international politics, substantiating the claim that imperial and colonial legacies - and how they have transformed over time - are foundational to the historicity of internatio…
‘Teaching Was not in My Head’
Dekolonisiert Euch! Kritische Betrachtungen der Friedens- und Konfliktforschung
Die Gegenwart der kolonialen und imperialen Vergangenheit ist in den letzten Jahren auch in Deutschland zunehmend zum Gegenstand öffentlicher Diskurse geworden. So überrascht es nicht, dass sich auch die Friedens- und Konfliktforschung vermehrt mit diesem Thema befasst, richtet sich ihr Fokus doch häufig auf Konflikte, die sich außerhalb Europas oder an den Peripherien des Kontinents ereignen, diesen aber oft direkt betreffen und mit der europäis…
On remembering, unlearning, and creating new stories
In this interview, Priya Basil—London-born author of fiction and essays who now lives in Berlin—reflects on colonial continuities and ruptures of Germany’s memoryscape. Taking the Humboldt Forum at the newly reconstructed Berlin Palace that houses Berlin’s ethnographic collections as a starting point, she talks about how the memory of the Holocaust and of colonial crimes committed by Germans connect yet also differ, what messages buildings such a…
Einleitung
Einleitung: Theorizing Violence
Welterzeugung
Der Beitrag blickt auf die Anfänge der Neueren Gewaltsoziologie zurück und plädiert für eine Wiederentdeckung des ursprünglichen gesellschaftskritischen Impulses. Jüngere Überlegungen aus den soziologischen Science and Technology Studies (STS) aufgreifend, zeigt er, dass sich in der Modernekritik der Protagonistinnen der Neueren Gewaltsoziologie eine Einsicht in die welter-zeugenden Effekte der Gewaltforschung artikuliert. Sie hatten verstanden, …
Liberating the Women of Afghanistan
This article explores struggles for women emancipation and empowerment in contemporary Afghanistan. It situates the topic in the context of the humanitarian and military intervention. Struggles of and for women in Afghanistan are reconstructed not as a domestic policy issue, but as a global concern, in which experiences of women in different places come to play a role in world politics. Drawing on ethnographic research in Kabul in 2015, I argue t…

The Normality of Civil War
In The Normality of Civil War, Teresa Koloma Beck uses theories of the everyday to analyze the social processes of civil war, specifically the type of conflict that is characterized by the expansion of violence into so-called normal life. She looks beyond simplistic notions of victims and perpetrators to reveal the complex shifting interdependencies that emerge during wartime. She also explores how the process of normalization effects both armed …
Staging Society
This article explores the importance of the social environment for the stability of armed groups as organizations. A case study of the Angolan UNITA explores how this armed group engaged and transformed existing social structures to recruit members and create a stable and loyal following. Contrary to the image of UNITA as a tribal organization, it is shown that UNITA's most loyal followership was created in a far-reaching project of social engine…
