What is Left for Critique? On the Perils of Innocence in Neoliberal Times
This essay explores the implications of what we call attachments to innocence for critical scholarship and progressive politics. After tracing the appearance of innocence in various strands of contemporary thought, we turn to how it shields individuals and groups from examining the depth of our own participation in oppression and harm. This evasion of responsibility works in our perspective as a hindrance to understanding power and engaging with …
Qué queda para la crítica? Sobre los peligros de la inocencia en tiempos neoliberales
Este artículo explora las implicaciones para la academia y la política de lo que llamamos apegos a la inocencia. Luego de rastrear las formas en que la inocencia aparece en diferentes corrientes del pensamiento contemporáneo, nos concentramos en cómo ella protege a individuos y grupos de confrontar nuestra profunda participación en la opresión. Esta evasión de la responsabilidad funciona, en nuestra perspectiva, como un obstáculo para comprender …
Narrative and the Possibilities for Scholarship
This article explores the recent expansion of narrative approaches in international relations (IR) and the conceptual and political possibilities it brings about. Instead of suggesting a set of criteria through which we should evaluate narrative texts, we investigate what they are already doing in IR scholarship. We show that the space which narrative writing delineates through the encounter between text and reader/reading potentiates critique an…
Narrative Global Politics
This volume harnesses the virtual explosion of narrative writing in contemporary academic international politics. It comprises a prologue, an epilogue, and sixteen chapters that both build upon and diversify the success of the 2011 volume Autobiographical International Relations. Here, as in that volume, academics place their narratives in the context of world politics, culture, and history. Contributors explore moments in their academic lives th…
Narrative voice and the limits of peacebuilding: Rethinking the politics of partiality
This article proceeds from the claim that memory and emotion are indivisible from practice, experience and history. It argues that an enhanced understanding of the impact of war and the subsequent logics of peacebuilding require narrative techniques and strategies that re-focus our attention on lived experiences. These experiences, however, should not be understood as a supplement to academic forms of knowledge, but must instead register as legit…
The triumph of the American nation
This essay offers a series of reflections on the traumatic impact of the threat of nuclear war during the SDI years of the mid-1980s. It also explores the discursive closure produced by the hegemonic consolidation of American history narratives and the ruptures that allow for moments of intellectual resistance

The Politics of Exile
"The most thought-provoking and refreshing work on Bosnia and the former Yugoslavia in a long time.It is certainly an immense contribution to the broadening schools within international relations." Times Higher Education (THE). Written in both autoethnographical and narrative form, The Politics of Exile offers unique insight into the complex encounter of researcher with research subject in the context of the Bosnian War and its aftermath. Explori…
Writing as hope: Reflections on The Politics of Exile
This article engages in a reflection on the author’s recently published book, The Politics of Exile. Of central concern are questions surrounding how restrictions on writing constrain the creative process; how we can access the lives and deaths of those with whom we share no temporal space; and how we can enact responsibility toward the pasts that we inherit and that shape our contemporary lives in other times and places. At stake are the issues …
The ethics of autoethnography
This article queries the place of autoethnography in the study of International Relations as it relates to questions of truth, power, and ethics. The traditional denial of the authorial presence of the self in IR scholarship has been increasingly challenged in recent years, and autoethnography is perhaps the most obvious example of this. This article utilises autoethnography to explore some of the pitfalls and dilemmas associated with the approac…
War Crimes and the Ruin of Law
This article explores the manner in which the logic of the war crimes trial authorizes and legitimates the practice of war more generally. It proceeds from the recognition that all war involves injuring or the threat of injuring, and that articulating particular types of injuring as especially problematic takes as one of its effects the normalization of injuring in war more generally. The article queries the function of law through an analysis of…

The Politics of the Body in Pain: Reading the Ethics of Imagery
Images of the body in pain are the primary medium through which we come to know war, torture and other pain-producing activities. The Cartesian paradigm of subjectivity suggests that pain is an interior event that can only be imperfectly expressed through language or visuality. This creates a significant disjuncture between the body that experiences pain and the one who observes this body through the technologies of visual culture. The imperative…
