Upholding disciplinary whiteness
This article examines the #SdScandal: the backroom and public fracas surrounding an article on epistemic racism in classic securitization theory that we authored. It argues that what the #SdScandal illustrates is that disciplinary whiteness in international relations has been upheld not despite, but in part through, the ‘critical turn’. Using textual analysis as well as cyber-ethnographic and auto-ethnographic methods, it details how post-positiv…
Is securitization theory racist? Civilizationism, methodological whiteness, and antiblack thought in the Copenhagen School
This article provides the first excavation of the foundational role of racist thought in securitization theory. We demonstrate that Copenhagen School securitization theory is structured not only by Eurocentrism but also by civilizationism, methodological whiteness, and antiblack racism. Classic securitization theory advances a conceptualization of 'normal politics' as reasoned, civilized dialogue, and securitization as a potential regression into…
Racism in Foucauldian Security Studies
This article argues that while Foucauldian security studies (FSS) scholarship on the biopolitics of security and liberal war has not ignored racism, these works largely replicate Foucault's whitewashing of the raciality and coloniality of modern power and violence. Drawing on Black, indigenous, postcolonial and decolonial studies, we show how Foucault's genealogy of biopower rests on an unspecified concept of the “human,” failing to account for h…
Sexualized violence and torture in the afterlife of slavery
Black Women’s Blueprint (BWB), a US-based civil and human rights organization, convened the first Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) addressing Black women’s and girls’ experiences with rape and sexual assault in the US. Led by Black women survivors of rape and sexual assault, the TRC was held at the United Nations (UN) in New York City from 28 April to 1 May 2016 as part of the UN’s International Decade of People of African Descent. The T…
Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Sex (in IR) But were Afraid to Ask
Queer International Relations’ momentum in the past four years has made it inconceivable for disciplinary IR to make it ‘appear as if there is no Queer International Theory’. The ‘queer turn’ has given rise to vibrant research programmes across IR subfields. Queer research is not only not a frivolous distraction from the ‘hard’ issues of IR, but queer analytics crack open for investigation fundamental dimensions of international politics that hav…
Beyond the erotics of Orientalism
Contrary to commonsense understandings of torture as a form of information-gathering, confessions elicited through the use of torture produce notoriously unreliable data, and most interrogation experts oppose it as a result. With a focus on the US carceral regime in the War on Terror, this article explores the social relations and structures of feelings that make torture and other seemingly ineffective and absurd carceral practices possible and d…
Empire, Desire and Violence
Dominant discourses in the United States paint the acts of prisoner ‘abuse’ committed by US soldiers in Abu Ghraib in 2003 as either the obscene but exceptional example of some low-ranking soldiers gone mad, or as the direct result of the suspension of the rule of law in the global ‘war on terror’. Alternatively, feminist theorist Barbara Ehrenreich suggests that the pictures depicting female soldiers torturing prisoners are both horrifying and a…
