Ripping, Cutting, Stitching: Feminist Knowledge Destruction and Creation in Global Politics: Creative Interventions in Global Politics

Autor shine choi, Saara Särmä, Cristina Masters, Marysia Zalewski, Michelle Lee Brown, Swati Parashar
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 oct 2023
This book presents a collective mediation on writing, methods, violences, and un/becomings in global politics. It combines narratives, fictional stories, academic discussions, passionate unwindings, imagined futures, and more. The editor's intention is to offer a theoretically creative work which engages extensively with the visual and affective to un-discipline knowledge and modes of expression. The book's point of departure is a conventional academic conference and its peculiar academic concerns (which many readers will only be too familiar with), using this to open up to broader and deeper concerns about everyday-level decisions, realities, and perspectives that feed into and make global politics. It is a polyvocal text that collects traces of thinking, learning, conversing, embodying and 'finding out', in an attempt to make visible some of the avalanches of discarded knowing practices. In this sense, this book is a methods book as much as a political/theoretical text that demands we (better) understand or know the worlds we enter, inhabit, to make it quiver otherwise.

Recenzii

Given our everyday of global crises, anxious observers ask how thinking, writing and especially feeling might/could/should be other than what today's disciplinary IR offers. By shifting our attention, this extraordinary book exposes what disciplining practices in academia make 'small' (invisible, unemotional, insignificant), connects the everyday of what is made small to the violent continuities of global politics, and offers a daring, disruptive and richly rewarding exploration of what is vastly at stake in (not) thinking IR otherwise. This uniquely collaborative project concludes by inviting us to imagine other futures and identifying strategies for doing so.
Gloriously messy and maddeningly relevant, this book is a wonderful companion for all of us current, soon-to-be, or once-upon-a-time feminist academics who are trying to figure out why and how we study international relations/global politics, and what happens to us when we do. If you do not find something that resonates so deeply that you wonder if this collective has been bugging your calls or tracking your devices, then you might need to ask yourself if you have been engaging in the harm and gatekeeping they describe.
This book is a gift, an avalanche of deep feminist critique that exposes IR's violent performativity: the larping of the Important Scholar at the conference panel and other sites of power in academia. It is a kick-ass exercise of complaint, an (anti-)methods book on writing and collaboration. You will want to devour it in one go.
Ripping, Cutting, Stitching is an extraordinary book - a burst of imagination and critical insight that breathes imagined and dreamed 'other futures' into life with incredible sharpness, care, creativity, and humour.
