This volume harnesses the virtual explosion of narrative writing in
contemporary academic international politics. It comprises a
prologue, an epilogue, and sixteen chapters that both build upon
and diversify the success of the 2011 volume Autobiographical
International Relations. Here, as in that volume, academics place
their narratives in the context of world politics, culture, and
history. Contributors explore moments in their academic lives that
are often inexpressible in the standard academic voice and which,
in turn, require a different way of writing and knowing. They write
in the belief that academic IR has already begun to benefit from a
different kind of writing-a stylae that retrieves the "I" and
explicitly demonstrates its presence both within the world and
within academic writing. By working within the overlap between
theory, history, and autobiography, these chapters aim to increase
the clarity, urgency, and meaningfulness of academic work.
Highlighting the autoethnographic and autobiographic turn in
critical international relations, this work will be of great
interest to students and scholars in international relations, IR
theory and global politics.
Developed through a series of encounters with a Bosnian Serb
soldier, Looking for Bosnia is a meditation on the possibilities
and limitations of responding to the extreme violence of the
Bosnian war. Framed through the philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas, the
book explores the ethics of confronting the war criminal and
investigates the possibility of responsibility not just to victims
of war and war crimes, but also to the perpetrators of violence. As
such, Looking for Bosnia is a consideration of the human encounter,
exploring the political and scholarly strategies through which the
'human' is often dismissed as 'inhuman.' In a political imaginary
that seeks a neat distinction between good and evil, this book
seeks to expose the complexity of these categories. To this extent,
the book is as much about the role of the researcher as it is about
how to approach genocide. In light of an increasing interest in the
literature on post structuralist ethics, Looking for Bosnia
explores the complexity of what it means to pursue justice after
genocide. of international politics, ethics, fieldwork and research
design, post-conflict reconstruction, and the Balkan Wars of the
1990s.
"The most thought-provoking and refreshing work on Bosnia and the
former Yugoslavia in a long time.It is certainly an immense
contribution to the broadening schools within international
relations." Times Higher Education (THE). Written in both
autoethnographical and narrative form, The Politics of Exile offers
unique insight into the complex encounter of researcher with
research subject in the context of the Bosnian War and its
aftermath. Exploring themes of personal and civilizational guilt,
of displaced and fractured identity, of secrets and subterfuge, of
love and alienation, of moral choice and the impossibility of
ethics, this work challenges us to recognise pure narrative as an
accepted form of writing in international relations. The author
brings theory to life and gives corporeal reality to a wide range
of concepts in international relations, including an exploration of
the ways in which young academics are initiated into a culture
where the volume of research production is more valuable than its
content, and where success is marked not by intellectual
innovation, but by conformity to theoretical expectations in
research and teaching. This engaging work will be essential reading
for all students and scholars of international relations and global
politics.
