Time transforms the way we see world politics and insinuates itself
into the ways we act. In this groundbreaking volume, Agathangelou
and Killian bring together scholars from a range of disciplines to
tackle time and temporality in international relations. The authors
- critical theorists, artists, and poets - theorize and speak from
the vantage point of the anticolonial, postcolonial, and decolonial
event. They investigate an array of experiences and structures of
violence - oppression, neocolonization, slavery, war, poverty and
exploitation - focusing on the tensions produced by histories of
slavery and colonization and disrupting dominant modes of how we
understand present times. This edited volume takes IR in a new
direction, defatalizing the ways in which we think about dominant
narratives of violence, 'peace' and 'liberation', and renewing what
it means to decolonize today's world. It challenges us to confront
violence and suffering and articulates another way to think the
world, arguing for an understanding of the 'present' as a
vulnerable space through which radically different temporal
experiences appear. And it calls for a disruption of the "everyday
politics of expediency" in the guise of neoliberalism and security.
This volume reorients the ethical and political assumptions that
affectively, imaginatively, and practically captivate us,
simultaneously unsettling the familiar, but dubious, promises of a
modernity that decimates political life. Re-animating an
international political, the authors evoke people's struggles and
movements that are neither about redemption nor erasure, but a
suspension of time for radical new beginnings.
