Alienated young man’ with plans for ‘murderous vengeance’? Examining portrayals of misogynistic incel violence in the US news media
Since 2014, misogynistic incels have perpetrated numerous incidents of public mass violence. While much attention has been directed at understanding the motives behind the violence and the workings of the misogynistic incel community, there has been little focus on how this violence is understood in wider society. Analysing the portrayal of misogynistic incel violence in US newspapers, this study asks how this violence is made sense of within pub…
What if war comes? Curating affective militarism in Sweden
In November 2023, a bright yellow container appeared outside of Uppsala University’s main library. It housed part of an interactive exhibition entitled tänk om – tillsammans i krig och fred (translated to: what if – together in war and peace 1 ). The container outside the library was designed to look like an ‘average’ student room in the aftermath of a war; burned, bombed, destroyed. Whereas the accompanying exhibition inside the library centres …
Eating ourselves safe
Beyond the state
Protection is traditionally conceptualised in relation to the state. Not only does the state provide protection externally, i.e. vis-à-vis other states in an assumed anarchical system, but also internally through various instruments of care. Such protection however relies on the social contract and is thus inherently transactional. Protection, and associated care, then becomes something earned, something one is entitled to by virtue of certain, p…
Rethinking 'protection' in international relations
These intervention pieces seek to question protection, a concept within International Relations (IR) that is everywhere, yet rarely explicitly discussed. The field of IR is founded upon the central tenets of state, power and security. Protection is implicit within these concepts. It is both the outcome and the promise of security–it is inbetween. But what is protection? Practices of protection are not only under-theorised but also uphold unjust h…
Isolated, apolitical and tragic”
How incidents of mass violence are portrayed has great consequences for how the violence is understood and responded to, including whether it requires political attention. This article examines the portrayal of incel violence, a relatively new phenomenon of violence perpetrated by people who identify with the misogynistic worldview present in and perpetuated by incel online forums. It does so through placing this violence in comparison with Islam…
Coming of age within ‘implosion’
In a recent article, Maria Eriksson Baaz and Swati Parashar 1 trace the continued salience of Eurocentrism in critical International Relations (IR), demonstrating how the ‘master’s outlook’ continues to stifle the study of global politics; they ultimately encourage an unsettling and even implosion of the discipline. Starting from this proposed ‘implosion’ of critical IR, this article reflects on our hopes, as two current PhD candidates and one ea…
