  • Reconciliation without closure: The long-term legacies of disappearances after the First World War

    Open Access•Élise Féron•ARTICLE•Thesis Eleven•2026

    This article examines how the embodied and material consequences of violent conflict shape long-term processes of post-war reconciliation and closure. Wars subject human bodies to death, disappearance, displacement, torture and other forms of extreme harm, producing effects that reverberate across generations. Yet, despite the central role of corporeality in conflict, limited attention has been paid to how bodily experiences, or the absence of bo…

  • Neither from within nor from without: How states securitize diasporas

    Open Access•Élise Féron, B Baser•ARTICLE•Ethnic and Racial Studies•2026•Cited by: 5•References: 56

    Diasporas and their transnational ties to their homelands and various other networks raise heightened suspicion in their countries of residence. Diasporas are perceived as non-state actors that form transnational and non-transparent ties with their homelands, foster long-distance nationalism, and create potential dual loyalties. Moreover, they are perceived as a potential source of tension due to the possibility of transporting homeland conflicts…

  • War and Peace: Analysis of Women’s Participation in Conflict Resolution Processes in the Democratic Republic of Congo

    Open Access•Ferdinand Kahenga Ekota, Élise Féron et al.•ARTICLE•Open Journal of Political Science•2024•References: 3

    This article focuses on women’s participation in peace processes in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It is based on an analysis of the situation in the Kivu region, where atrocities and conflicts are ongoing in villages, territories and communes. Women are victims of atrocities and all forms of human rights violations. The much sought-after peace is not within the reach of the victims, who see their lives taken away by the belligerents, who have…

  • The embodiment of postwar reconciliation? The issue of the missing after the Georgian–Abkhazian armed conflict

    Vadim Romashov, Élise Féron•ARTICLE•Peace and Conflict Journal of…•2024

    Almost all countries that are experiencing or have experienced war or armed conflict are affected by the issue of the missing. The literature on those who go missing after violent conflicts has focused mainly on technical issues related to the retrieval and identification of bodies, families’ mobilization, transitional justice and psychological consequences for the relatives of the missing. However, despite the staggering number of people who go …

  • Constructing the Local in Madagascar: Resistance and Politics of Scale

    Open Access•Velomahanina Tahinjanahary Razakamaharavo, Élise Féron•ARTICLE•Journal of Intervention and…•2024•References: 5

    Madagascar has historically served as an experimental ground for various externally led political and economic interventions and ideologies. This article uses the concept of scale to explore how these interventions have contributed to (re)defining and manipulating the local in Madagascar, at both epistemological and material levels. By focusing on three key periods (colonialism, postindependence socialist and communist policies, and contemporary …

    Open Access•Élise Féron•ARTICLE•Ethnic and Racial Studies•2024•Cited by: 13•References: 16

    How are memories of a violent past in the country of origin reproduced, contested and reinterpreted by younger diasporic generations? And what consequences do processes of memory transmission of a violent past have on younger generations' identities and patterns of mobilisation? Based on an exploration of the transmission of memories of the 1994 genocide in the Rwandan diaspora in Belgium, this article demonstrates that the intergenerational tran…

    This article is the result of a study carried out among civil society actors and civil servants in South Kivu, North Kivu, and Maniema who are advocating for equality and equity for all people. The co-optation of women into the institutions of the Democratic Republic of the Congo is examined. This study examined obstacles to the values of equity and equality of human rights. It further explored women’s competences, capacities, skills and the need…

  • Pathways to Conflict Transportation and Autonomisation: The Armenian Diaspora and the Conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh

    Open Access•Élise Féron, B Baser•ARTICLE•Ethnopolitics•2023•Cited by: 6•References: 13

    Since its inception the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict has generated multiple narratives in the region itself, in Armenia and Azerbaijan, and in the concerned diasporas. The war that occurred in 2020 engendered high levels of diasporic mobilisation, but interestingly the discourses of Armenian diaspora activists largely differed from those of Armenia or Nagorno-Karabakh. Drawing from theories of conflict transportation and autonomisation in diaspora s…

  • Throwing in my two cents: Burundian diaspora youth between conventional and transformative forms of mobilization

    Open Access•Élise Féron•ARTICLE•Globalizations•2023•Cited by: 4•References: 7

    Since its independence in 1962, Burundi has witnessed several episodes of civil war and political unrest. The most recent of these, which started in 2015, triggered the migration of approx. 400,000 Burundians to neighbouring countries and the rest of the world. Based on interviews with first- and second-generation Burundian youths living in France and Belgium, this contribution examines how Burundian diasporic youth mobilizes against the authorit…

  • Embodied reconciliation: A new research agenda

    Open Access•Roddy Brett, Richard English et al.•ARTICLE•Peacebuilding•2022•Cited by: 1•References: 13

    Despite a growth in research exploring corporeal dimensions of peacebuilding, scholarship addressing intergroup reconciliation after violent conflict currently pays too little attention to the human body, and to the consequences of the embodied impact of political violence upon reconciliation. Rather, research tends to focus upon the narrative and discursive aspects of relationships between formerly warring parties. As a result, little is underst…

  • Understanding conflicts as clouds: An exploration of Northern Irish conflict narratives

    Open Access•Élise Féron, Voytiv•ARTICLE•Globalizations•2022•Cited by: 4•References: 16

    While tragically disrupting the lives of people in specific locations, some armed conflicts have the capacity to become social, political, and cultural stakes elsewhere. Inspired by Appadurai’s conceptualization of -scapes, this article goes beyond and proposes the metaphor of ‘conflict cloud’ in order to understand armed conflicts in the context of globalization. Focusing on the circulation and production of narratives, we develop and delineate …

  • Power/resistance: External actors, local agency, and the Burundian peacebuilding project

    Open Access•Élise Féron, Keith Krause•ARTICLE•European Journal of International…•2022•Cited by: 4•References: 2

    Peacebuilding policies and practices represent strong attempts by external actors to exercise power in postconflict settings. Yet the extensive theoretical treatments of power in International Relations remain somewhat disconnected from empirical analyses of peacebuilding, and how external actors exercise power is under-conceptualised in the literature. Likewise, the literature on forms of resistance by local actors is seldom examined as an exerc…

  • Host state reactions to home state diaspora engagement policies: Rethinking state sovereignty and limits of diaspora governance

    During the last few decades, institutions, policies, and other state-sponsored mechanisms linking home states and diasporas have expanded well beyond traditional areas. Numerous states have established diaspora engagement policies and institutions to tap diaspora resources and maximize their political, economic, and cultural interests. Previous research largely focused on these policies' motivations and their impact on diasporas, with little atte…

  • Towards a theory of diaspora formation through conflict deterritorialization

    Building on different cases of conflicts in homelands triggering diaspora mobilization, we develop a theory of diaspora formation through processes of conflict deterritorialization. We argue that an armed conflict in the country of origin can trigger specific processes of diaspora formation in the countries of settlement and in the transnational space, depending on the actors involved and the particular context in both the home and host countries…

  • Towards an intersectional approach to populism: Comparative perspectives from Finland and India

    Building on a comparison between the Finns Party in Finland, and the BJP in India, we propose to understand populist mobilisation through its core discursive sequences, rather than by relying upon traditional left-right or radical-moderate axes of analysis. Developing an original methodology, we suggest to classify populist radical right (PRR) movements depending on whether they include or exclude individuals on the basis of their religious, ethn…

  • Reinventing conflict prevention? Women and the prevention of the reemergence of conflict in Burundi

    Open Access•Élise Féron•ARTICLE•Conflict Resolution Quarterly•2020

    Based on interviews conducted in Burundi with representatives of women's groups, and in light of existing knowledge on conflict prevention and peacebuilding in divided societies, the article critically examines national and international efforts to prevent a re‐emergence of the conflict. It argues that conflict prevention initiatives led by women's groups, though often overlooked and sidelined, could provide important insights for improving opera…

  • Embracing Complexity: Diaspora Politics as a Co-Construction

    Open Access•Élise Féron•ARTICLE•MIGRATION LETTERS•2020

    Building on cases of conflict-generated diaspora groups, the article proposes to understand diaspora politics as a co-construction between a series of actors that is not limited to home and host states. It argues that repeated attempts to understand diaspora politics as mostly produced by home or host countries is the result of an unwillingness to embrace the fundamentally disruptive nature of diasporas in interstate politics. Diasporas are hybri…

    A lot of literature has been published during the past two decades highlighting the role played by some diasporas in the conflicts raging in their home countries, and on the links between diasporas and ‘international terrorism’. Diasporas, especially those originating from conflict areas, are often depicted in policy circles as potential security threats, raising indiscriminate suspicion towards diasporas in general.

  • National populism and gendered vigilantism: The case of the Soldiers of Odin in Finland

    Based on a discursive analysis of various media reports published in 2015–2018 by and about the Finnish right-wing street patrolling organization Soldiers of Odin (SOO), we explore the gendered dimension of contemporary vigilantism. We find that street patrolling as a practice of vigilantism, is justified in this case by using representations of the cityspace as a place of friction between locals and newcomers and of the street as a locus for ena…

    Madagascar, an island located in the Indian Ocean and a former French colony which gained its independence in 1960, has experienced nine episodes of internal conflict since the colonial

  • National populism and gendered vigilantism: The case of the Soldiers of Odin in Finland

    Open Access•Sarai B Aharoni, Élise Féron•ARTICLE•Cooperation and Conflict•2019•Cited by: 5•References: 9

    Based on a discursive analysis of various media reports published in 2015–2018 by and about the Finnish right-wing street patrolling organization Soldiers of Odin (SOO), we explore the gendered dimension of contemporary vigilantism. We find that street patrolling as a practice of vigilantism, is justified in this case by using representations of the cityspace as a place of friction between locals and newcomers and of the street as a locus for ena…

  • Reinventing conflict prevention? Women and the prevention of the reemergence of conflict in Burundi

    Open Access•Élise Féron•ARTICLE•Conflict Resolution Quarterly•2020

    Based on interviews conducted in Burundi with representatives of women's groups, and in light of existing knowledge on conflict prevention and peacebuilding in divided societies, the article critically examines national and international efforts to prevent a re‐emergence of the conflict. It argues that conflict prevention initiatives led by women's groups, though often overlooked and sidelined, could provide important insights for improving opera…

  • Embracing Complexity: Diaspora Politics as a Co-Construction

    Open Access•Élise Féron•ARTICLE•MIGRATION LETTERS•2020

    Building on cases of conflict-generated diaspora groups, the article proposes to understand diaspora politics as a co-construction between a series of actors that is not limited to home and host states. It argues that repeated attempts to understand diaspora politics as mostly produced by home or host countries is the result of an unwillingness to embrace the fundamentally disruptive nature of diasporas in interstate politics. Diasporas are hybri…

  • Burundi Women’s Grassroots Preventive Mediation

    Open Access•Tarja Väyrynen, Élise Féron et al.•ARTICLE•Peace Review•2020•References: 1

    UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has recently acknowledged that “backdoor mediation” and grassroots initiatives by non-state, informal actors play an important role in conflict prevention. In

  • Towards a theory of diaspora formation through conflict deterritorialization

    Open Access•Élise Féron, Voytiv•ARTICLE•Studies in Ethnicity and…•2021•Cited by: 8•References: 16

    Building on different cases of conflicts in homelands triggering diaspora mobilization, we develop a theory of diaspora formation through processes of conflict deterritorialization. We argue that an armed conflict in the country of origin can trigger specific processes of diaspora formation in the countries of settlement and in the transnational space, depending on the actors involved and the particular context in both the home and host countries…

  • Towards an intersectional approach to populism: Comparative perspectives from Finland and India

    Shweta Singh, Élise Féron•ARTICLE•Contemporary Politics•2021•Cited by: 5•References: 36

    Building on a comparison between the Finns Party in Finland, and the BJP in India, we propose to understand populist mobilisation through its core discursive sequences, rather than by relying upon traditional left-right or radical-moderate axes of analysis. Developing an original methodology, we suggest to classify populist radical right (PRR) movements depending on whether they include or exclude individuals on the basis of their religious, ethn…

  • Embodied reconciliation: A new research agenda

    Open Access•Roddy Brett, Richard English et al.•ARTICLE•Peacebuilding•2022•Cited by: 1•References: 13

    Despite a growth in research exploring corporeal dimensions of peacebuilding, scholarship addressing intergroup reconciliation after violent conflict currently pays too little attention to the human body, and to the consequences of the embodied impact of political violence upon reconciliation. Rather, research tends to focus upon the narrative and discursive aspects of relationships between formerly warring parties. As a result, little is underst…
