Atmospheric violence
Despite Fanon’s recent popularity, his work on violence is portrayed as controversial, particularly regarding revolutionary violence. Revolutionary violence in anti-colonial movements is either glorified as a liberating force or vilified as terrorism. However, this portrayal misses one of the main contributions of Fanon’s thought on violence, that is, violence cannot be separated into direct and structural, physical and epistemic, or revolutionar…
Narratives of Crisis
This article aims to show subject formation through narratives during the time of crisis with an example of Korean War narratives. Korean War narratives pose two important questions in understanding the relationship between the narrative and subject formation. First, how do subnarratives work in the forming of the subject? This question asks how a hegemonic narrative appears during crisis. The second question asks how the dynamic of hegemonic and…
When diversity, equity and inclusion fail to globalize
Promoting Diversity and Inclusion in Professional Associations
The International Security Studies Section (ISSS) of the International Studies Association aims to promote the study of global, international, regional, and national security—broadly conceived. Over the past decade, ISSS has also sought to improve diversity and inclusion for its membership, culminating in its Taskforce on Diversity in Security Studies. In this forum, taskforce organizers, researchers, and participants examine the ways in which IS…

Addressing Vaccine Inequity During the Covid-19 Pandemic
This article examines global vaccine inequity during the COVID-19 pandemic. We critique intellectual property (IP) law under the 1994 WTO TRIPS Agreement, and specifically, the role that IP has played in enabling the inequities of production, distribution and pricing in the COVID-19 vaccine context. Given the failure of international response mechanisms, including COVAX and C-TAP, to address vaccine inequity, we argue the TRIPS waiver proposal sh…
Act of violence
Mass killing during security practices is often conceptualized as either unintended consequences or state violence. Looking away from the conventional frame that focuses on intentions of perpetrators, I suggest focusing on the embodied act in perpetrating violence, which illuminates another mechanism that has not been fully explored in perpetrator studies. I argue that undecidability embedded in embodying national security prompts the act of viol…
What if all we can see are the parts, and there is not a whole
This essay discusses the meaning of 'climate justice' and the ways in which it is or is not materialised currently in climate change litigation. First I present the immateriality of the abstract concepts that make up this composite term: 'climate' and 'justice'. Yet the placing the words adjacent to one another seems to mobilise them into a novel composite vehicle of legal action. I trace how the idea of 'climate justice' hovers as an elusive ide…
Is There (Should There Be) a Law and Humanities Canon?”
This commentary considers the question of whether there is, or should be, a law and humanities canon by exploring the identity and value of the field and querying the concept of canon itself as an authoritative cultural technique of intellectual and social reproduction. I argue that the common trait which binds works in the field of law and humanities together is the connective “and,” which is inimical to the concept of a canon. Thinking with Bar…
Ghosts of inventions
This article examines the shifts in the material ordering of inventions in patent law organization and their effects on the meaning and scope of inventions as intellectual property. Formats and media are constitutive of the establishment and stabilization of inventions as objects of intellectual property. Modern patent law's materiality had been dominated by paper documents but ever more consists of digital images, files, and networked data. The …
In search of a trade mark. Search practices and bureaucratic poetics
Trade marks have been understood as quintessential ‘bureaucratic properties’. This article suggests that the making of trade marks has been historically influenced by bureaucratic practices of search and classification, which in turn were affected by the possibilities and limits of spatial organisation and technological means of access and storage. It shows how the organisation of access and retrieval did not only condition the possibility of con…
Science Inside Law
ArgumentRecent studies of patents have argued that the very materiality and techniques of legal media, such as the written patent document, are vital for the legal construction of a patentable invention. Developing the centrality placed on patent documents further, it becomes important to understand how these documents are ordered and mobilized. Patent classification answers the necessity of making the virtual nature of textual claims practicable…
