Global and local contestations are not only gendered, they also
raise important questions about agency and its practice and
location in the twenty-first century. Silence and voice are being
increasingly debated as sites of agency within feminist research on
conflict and insecurity. Drawing on a wide range of feminist
approaches, this volume examines the various ways that silence and
voice have been contested in feminist research, and their impact on
how agency is understood and performed, particularly in situations
of conflict and insecurity. The collection makes an important and
timely contribution to interdisciplinary feminist theorizing of
silence, voice and agency in global politics. Interrogating the
intellectual landscape of existing debates about agency, silence
and voice in an increasingly unequal and conflict-ridden world, the
contributors to this volume challenge the dominant narratives of
agency based on voice or speech alone as a necessary precondition
for understanding or negotiating agency or empowerment. Many of the
authors have engaged in field research in both the Global South and
North and bring in-depth and diverse gendered case studies to their
analysis, focusing on the increasing importance of examining
silence as well as voice for understanding gender and agency in an
increasingly embattled and complicated world. This book will
contribute to and deepen existing discussions of agency, silence
and voice in development, culture and gender studies, political
economy, postcolonial and de-colonial scholarship as well as in the
field of International Relations.
