Building on recent debates in critical social theory and
international relations, Making Things International I: Circuits
and Motion presents twenty-five essays that engage the global, the
local, and the international through the lens of objects. It
represents the first substantial new materialist intervention in
global politics and international relations, offering a diverse and
provocative set of reflections on how different objects create,
sustain, complicate, and trouble the international. Problematizing
the stuff of global life, Making Things International focuses on
contemporary materialist scholarship on the international realm.
The first of two volumes, these original contributions by both new
and established scholars examine how war, diplomacy, trade,
communication, and mobile populations are made by things: weapons,
vehicles, shipping containers, commodities, passports, and more.
The authors demonstrate how mundane, everyday objects-not normally
understood as international-are in fact deeply implicated in how we
think of the world: blood, garbage, viruses, traffic lights,
clocks, memes, and ships' ballast. Contributors: Michele Acuto, U
