The Arctic Terns
The Arctic Terns are six creative artists|writers|photographers|poets, who perform the paper you will encounter here. We Arctic Terns engage in collaborative writing and artmaking, connecting with each other, along with some of the other-than-human earth and animal others, through whom our own being-human is extended. We Terns become and write together as an archipelago of ‘singularities’; we have been meeting on Zoom for years, listening to and …
Remembering Sue
We are members of CANI-Net. 1 Sue Porter was pivotal in our efforts to create and sustain the necessary, loosely fashioned spaces to inquire artfully and collaboratively into our fragile existence on this shared and damaged planet. Then suddenly she died. We were grief-stricken. There was a pause. We reconvened, to honor Sue through the ways of working we had accumulated between us over the past decade. We offer you this glimpse into our collabor…
Arctic Terns
We call ourselves the Arctic terns after the birds that migrate between the northern and southern hemispheres. Three of us live in south-west Britain and three in south-east Australia. We tried to make sense of our lockdown lives and the ways we were imbricated in world events. We wrote and made art in response. We read our work to each other and showed each other our artworks. The material practices we developed helped make the pandemic endurabl…
What is Feminism in Troubling Times? To Stay Standing Together
This performative piece, an enactment of lived feminism, acknowledges the privileges and explores the similarities and differences between three cis-gendered white women in different parts of the United Kingdom and how these aid and hinder collaboratively writing together. The piece was shared at the Autoethnography Special Interest Group at International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry (ICQI) in 2018. We had never written together before but had…
“Intertwangerlings”
The article introduces the concept of the “intertwangle,” a concept grounded within the gentle collisions of delegates at the 13th International Congress for Qualitative Inquiry at the University of Illinois and the simultaneous retelling of multiple autoethnographies of such encounters. Through such encounters and “retellings,” perhaps a different way of thinking about autoethnography is developed. The article presents a story of a journey to an…
Is Extremism the 'New' Terrorism? the Convergence of 'Extremism' and 'Terrorism' in British Parliamentary Discourse
That the distinctions between terrorism and extremism have become increasingly blurred is something of a truism, but there has been little systematic analysis of whether this is truly the case nor of its possible implications. This paper argues that there has been a recent convergence between these two concepts in British parliamentary discourse, reproducing the same signifiers and meanings for non-violent extremism as previously existed for terr…
Proscribing the past or de-proscribing the future
Proscription represents a central pillar of counterterrorism, criminalising organisations and associated practices, and framing proscribed groups as “terrorist”. While an emerging field of research on proscription is developing, there has been little attention given to the discursive roots of the practice. Therefore, this article makes three contributions: first, it provides a historical contextualisation of proscription by focusing on the North …
Why Negotiate When You Can Criminalize? Lessons for Conflict Transformation from Northern Ireland and South Africa
Research on negotiating with criminalized actors generally assumes the criminal label as a given, neglecting the significance of criminalization itself. This article addresses this gap arguing that the processes of criminalization and decriminalization embody important incentive structures affecting peace negotiations. Specifically, for conflict transformation to effectively occur, criminalization needs to be orientated away from a criminalizatio…
Inquiring into Red/Red Inquiring
This layered account of an inquiry into ‘red’ emerged out of a collective biography workshop. In the middle of the Wiltshire countryside, an international and interdisciplinary group of scholars gathered together to write and make other things and marks on paper that asked questions of, and into, the spaces between words, people, things and their environments. We did not set out to workshop or write into or paint ‘red’ but, rather, it was red tha…
