Decolonising and the Aesthetic Turn in International Studies
The aesthetic turn (AT) in International Studies stresses the ongoing task of marshalling non-western insights to better explore the agency of the globally marginalised in discourses about representability. Decolonial literature also calls specifically for more understanding of relationality and co-creativity underpinning agency and voice in global politics. Building on this decolonialising challenge, this article embeds a focus on ‘ordinary lang…
Intimately Inhabiting Borders
This paper considers the ways in which borders are intimately inhabited through processes of attachment. It does so by foregrounding constructions of ‘home’ in the lives of migrant women who were part of a multicultural network in the North of England. Inspired by the concept of ‘the intimate’ it looks at how attachments – understood as connections located in modes of sensation – work to produce the border as a zone of practice by enabling a dist…
Introduction
In this introduction to the special section on “Engaging Geopolitics through the Lens of the Intimate”, we first locate the papers collected here in the context of developing an “Intimate Geopolitics” project at the University of Manchester. We then review the importance of ‘intimacy’ and the concept of ‘the intimate’ across an array of disciplinary studies, drawing especially on the rich body of work by critical geopolitics scholars who have lon…
On intimacy, geopolitics and discipline
In this conversation, we consider the personal intellectual journey of one academic (V. Spike Peterson) in an attempt to consider the academic as produced within a web of intimate global relations
The Present and the Future of the Research Excellence Framework Impact Agenda in the UK Academy
One of the most extensively discussed requirements introduced in the 2014 Research Excellence Framework was impact. In this review piece, we focus on the linear and temporal consequences of the Research Excellence Framework (REF) impact system. We link such consequences to our own research agendas to provide a sense of empirical richness to the broad concerns that arise from the impact agenda and to highlight the effects of the Research Excellenc…

Unfamiliar acts of citizenship
Conceptualising citizenship as an act rather than a status enables us to rethink the familiarity of both ‘who’ can be a citizen and the type of ‘practices’ that can be understood as citizenship. This paper focuses on unfamiliar practices of citizenship per se by exploring the liminal site from which intergenerational migrant youth resist the taken-for-granted space of citizenship through a turn towards vernacular music and language. It considers …
Ambiguous Subjectivity, Irregular Citizenship
This paper reflects on the recent development of new and innovative ways of thinking about political subjectivity in international politics as flexible and contingent by specifically considering ambiguity (in-between-ness) as an important, yet under-theorized, aspect of how political subjectivity is experienced. It does so by focusing on the question of irregular citizenship, where people get caught between citizenship and migration. Focusing on …
Traces Rather than Spaces of Citizenship
Ambiguous Citizenship in an Age of Global Migration
Many people see citizenship in a globalised world in terms of binaries: inclusion/exclusion, past/present, particularism/universalism. Aoileann Ní Mhurchú; points out the limitations of these positions and argues that we need to be able to take into account the people who get caught between these traditional categories. Using critical resources found in poststructural, psychoanalytic and postcolonial thought, Ní Mhurchú thinks in new ways about c…
Thinking citizenship and its constitutive subject
This article considers a referendum which was held in the Republic of Ireland in 2004 involving a proposal to qualify the existing universal constitutional entitlement to birthright citizenship. Existing analysis of this referendum reflects dominant trends in citizenship scholarship. It does so by framing the issue in terms of two opposing perspectives – one particularistic (exclusive) and one universalistic (inclusive) – and positing the questio…
Citizenship as Absolute Space, Citizenship as Contingent Trace
Using the distinction that Richard Ashley and Rob Walker drew in 1990 between two possible critical responses to crisis and the question of sovereignty, this article argues that two strands of thought can be identified, each producing a different understanding of what it means to become a citizen in Ireland. One strand articulates citizenship in terms of sovereign autonomous subjectivity, and thus in terms of horizontal or territorial relations b…
