Writing from the Wound
This article is about the necessity of working with and through the concept of racial melancholia in ethnographic work as a racialized insider researcher. I rework this concept in light of my fieldwork in Kurdistan, Turkey, and Denmark, by examining the affective dimensions of feminist ethnographic fieldwork, and through the suggestion that we ought to think of such a method of knowledge-production as always already situated in and engaged with a…
Race, gender, and the affective politics of neoliberal knowledge
In this short commentary, I reflect on the publication of Lars Cornelissen’s Neoliberalism and Race from a critical feminist perspective. My comments focus on the (1) the politics of affect in reading and writing about racism as violence, and (2) the question of gender as an entangled concept and phenomenon to those of race, not least when it comes to the genealogy of neoliberalism and its imbrications in human rights and development
Breaking free from ‘honour’
The concept of ‘namûs’ refers to a shared way of being and meaning that is central to Kurdish social life. Namûs, however, is most commonly known through translation as the concept of ‘honour’. In this article, I ask what happens when ‘we’ make a return to the vocabulary of namûs (not ‘honour’). What other meanings, frames, and ways of relating are opened up by the epistemic centring of namûs? The catachrestic operation that is namûs-as-‘honour’ …

Re-theorising namûs beyond 'honour
Namûs describes a 'way of life' integral to Kurdish sociality and to the sense of self for many Kurds who live it in a plurality of ways. Constituting a form of power over the subject which can potentially take the form of domination, namûs is also a social relation of care and power between subjects and is integral to its subject's ethical relationship of self-to-self and processes of self-making. Post-Enlightenment and liberal frameworks of 'mo…
The Coloniality of Contemporary Human Rights Discourses on ‘Honour’ in and Around the United Nations
In United Nations (UN) human rights reporting and analysis, ‘honour’ has been systematically conflated with ‘honour-related violence’ (HRV). However, honour and HRV are not the same thing. In this article I examine contemporary UN human rights discourses around honour. I argue that these discourses are underpinned by racialised and orientalist-colonial imaginaries which falsely categorise people and places as either having or not having honour. T…
