Narrative Global Politics - Theory, History and the Personal in International Relations (Paperback): Naeem Inayatullah,... Narrative Global Politics - Theory, History and the Personal in International Relations (Paperback)
Naeem Inayatullah, Elizabeth Dauphinee
R1,470 Discovery Miles 14 700 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

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.

The Ethics of Researching War - Looking for Bosnia (Paperback): Elizabeth Dauphinee The Ethics of Researching War - Looking for Bosnia (Paperback)
Elizabeth Dauphinee
R588 Discovery Miles 5 880 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

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 Politics of Exile - Teaching and Learning Toward Social Justice (Hardcover, New): Elizabeth Dauphinee The Politics of Exile - Teaching and Learning Toward Social Justice (Hardcover, New)

"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.
