Narrating political violence without war
Can International Relations imagine a world without war? For most of us, the answer is no. Global politics is largely predicated on negotiating its inevitability and theorists accept it as a constant. Yet, war itself is a frame, a narration, a collectively held idea about the meaning of certain acts of violence. It structures everything from collective understandings of “peacetime” to the trajectory of history and it retains a timelessness that s…
Framing collective violence as war time
Writing on the US war on terrorism, Judith Butler identified how discursive frames are produced and reproduced in ways that make certain forms of violence discernable as war. These frames that make war an intelligible form of political violence are not only spatial, but irreducibly temporal in nature. Their circulation–e.g., the framing of US counter-terror efforts as ‘war’ – enables some lives to be understood as grievable, while others lack pol…
A 'continuing, imminent' threat
For nearly two decades, the United States has chosen to narrate its response to terrorism through what Judith Butler refers to as the 'frame of war'. Despite this, victory in that country's longest war remains largely unimaginable. In some ways this is a problem of time - it is not that victory or an end to the conflict is literally unimaginable, it's that from our political present, an end appears radically discontinuous. This article builds on …
The Trump administration's politics of time
Scholars and political observers have noted how the rate of significant events and crises in the Trump administration appear to be accelerating at an unmanageable and irresistible pace, making it difficult to respond to these actions as they happen. This paper uses the lens of the present as a frame for exploring the temporal assumptions and "timing mechanisms" at work in the contemporary moment within American politics, particularly within US fo…
Counterterrorism as War
The U.S. war on Al Qaeda is well into its second decade—why has this particular conflict been so difficult to end? This article argues it is not due to the strategic acumen of Al Qaeda, but because of the problems intrinsic to relying on war as the framework for U.S. counterterrorism policy. The normal means of ending wars are complicated with a terrorist enemy and at odds with strategies that have historically had success at the end stages of co…

Johnson's Debate with Stoicism
It has been pointed out that the wise and happy man of Chapter 18 of Rasselas voices certain standard Stoic precepts.' The extent to which Stoic attitudes and principles contribute to Johnson's moral thinking in general, however, has not been recognized. It is true that in Rasselas and elsewhere Johnson rejects Stoic ideals of apathy and self-sufficiency: true also that other Augustans refuted Stoicism in much the same way.2 But Johnson was more …
