Reflections on the forum in the Review of International Studies: A conversation between Cristina Masters and Marysia Zalewski
Cristina Masters (CM): The articles in this forum speak to how influential and inspiring your work is for scholars in the discipline of International Relations (IR), not least feminist scholars. Particularly, I think, for encouraging us to (re)think and (re)work with deeply familiar ‘things’ in deeply unusual – yet troublingly fecund – ways. Blood, for example, comes up quite frequently in your writing on methodology, even though it appears, as y…
Reflections on the special section, ‘“Well, what is the feminist perspective on international affairs?”: Theory/practice’

Bodies of technology: Cyborg soldiers and militarized masculinities
The interface between technology and human bodies has often been lauded by feminists and critical theorists, within international politics, as potentially emancipatory. Specifically, feminists have theorized how the interface between technology and gendered bodies has had the effect of disturbing the constructs of femininity and masculinity. This article explores how the constitution of the cyborg soldier within the military, rather than displaci…
