Note publique d'information : "This edited volume seeks to propose and examine different, though related, critical
responses to modern cultures of violence among other cultural practices of statecraft.
Together, these chapters present a space of creative engagement with the political
and draw on a broad range of cultural contexts and genres of expression to provoke
thinking that exceeds the conventional stories and practices of international relations.
In contrast to a macropolitical focus on state policy and inter-state hostilities,
the contributors to this volume treat the micropolitics of violence and dissensus
that occur below (besides and against) the level and gaze that comprehends official
map-making, policy-making and implementation practices. At a minimum, the counter-narratives
presented in these chapters disturb the functions, identities and positions assigned
by the nation-state, thereby multiplying relations between bodies, the worlds in which
they live and the ways in which they are 'equipped' for fitting in them. Contributions
deploy feature films, literature, photography and architecture to think the political
in ways that offer glimpses of realities that are fugitive within existing perspectives.
Bringing together a wide range of theorists from a host of geographical, cultural
and theoretical contexts, this work explores the different ways in which an aesthetic
treatment of world politics can contribute towards an ethics of encounter predicated
on minimal violence in encounters with people with different practices of identity."--Book
