Synching the martial body: Poetic encounters with Finnish cadets
In this paper, I engage poetically with embodied experiences of Finnish cadets in physical training, bringing the study of body technique, social emotions and militarism together. I focus on the cadets' experiences in collective movement, in particular when synchronizing and attuning with each other. I identify three bodies – minded, machine and combat – as descriptions of being part of the synching collective. I propose that the interviewed Finn…
You Cannot Take War Out of the Soldier
This article is an experimentation in poetry on the topic of combat and killing derived from interview data. Such writing is called many things, but I named it documentary poetry which, regardless of its origins, is a manifestation of the indeterminacy and autonomy of art. I have taken the words of Finnish military cadets, poetic in themselves, and exhausted the possibilities of translation by abandoning accuracy for the sake of sensual precision…
Autopsy of a militarized body: Introducing the short documentary Nothing too Bad
Nothing too Bad became an 11-minute documentary about me and my father, a briefcase and militarism. It is aimless and elusive, yet directed by a curiosity about the power of emotion, and the power of bodies and other materialities. How a story makes an identity, and how an identity makes a story. This is a companion text to an unpublished video, or maybe even its replacement. As scary as it is, I want to share a personal story of how militarism t…

Bodily States on Screen: Gendering Spheres of Influence inHouse of Cards
This article elaborates how the political television drama House of Cards presents the state as a gendered human body, anthropomorphised in the United States’ presidential couple Frank and Claire Underwood and Russia’s President Viktor Petrov for popular consumption. In an attempt to bring gender into conversation with the concept of sphere of influence, the article shows the tensions between militarist masculinity and queer subjectivity. In Hous…
Spheres of Influence in International Relations: History, Theory and Politics
Sounds of silence: Reflections on Songwriting and International Relations
Writing orbits what cannot be said, and it struggles to express what we cannot articulate (Inayatullah 2011, 8).What if there was a form other than academic writing that would express the insights
