ABSTRACT Since the late 1990s, the critical study of security has crystallised into a professional field of study – Critical Security Studies (CSS) – complete with theoretical schools, journals, and disciplinary narratives that recount its birth and development. The establishment of CSS as a separate field of inquiry distinct from conventional approaches to security is a remarkable achievement but has also come at a price. We argue that this is especially apparent in relation to the limited role Cold War history plays in CSS. Disciplinary narratives of the field tend to conflate the Cold War period with conventional security theory or strategic studies, thus downplaying the originality and importance of critical perspectives articulated during this protracted conflict. Emphasising the deep entanglements of the Cold War nuclear arms race with questions of ecological contamination, democracy, race, and decolonisation, we argue that these intersections are worth revisiting as intellectual precursors and foundations for CSS. We briefly illustrate this argument by highlighting important challenges to conventional security thinking that were formulated at three interconnected sites during the early Cold War: the 1955 Bandung Conference, Pan-African resistance to French nuclear testing in Algeria, and African-American anti-nuclear activism.
自20世纪90年代末以来,安全的批判性研究已经形成了一个专业的研究领域-关键安全研究(CSS) -包括理论学派,期刊和学科叙述,讲述了它的诞生和发展。CSS作为一个与传统安全方法不同的独立研究领域的建立是一项了不起的成就,但也付出了代价。我们认为,这在冷战历史在CSS中发挥的有限作用方面尤其明显。该领域的学科叙事倾向于将冷战时期与传统的安全理论或战略研究混为一谈,从而淡化了在这场旷日持久的冲突中所阐述的批判性观点的独创性和重要性。强调冷战核军备竞赛与生态污染、民主、种族和非殖民化问题的深刻纠缠,我们认为这些交叉点值得作为CSS的知识先驱和基础重新审视。我们通过强调在冷战早期三个相互关联的地点形成的对传统安全思想的重要挑战来简要说明这一论点:1955年万隆会议,泛非洲对法国在阿尔及利亚进行核试验的抵制,以及非洲裔美国人的反核行动主义。

‘What is an author?’: critical reflections on authors and authority in critical security studies – introduction “什么是作者?”:批判性安全研究中对作者和权威的批判性思考&引论

This special issue starts from some simple questions, questions that are periodically raised throughout the arts, humanities and social sciences, including in Critical Security Studies (CSS) and critical International Relations (IR). Yet they are important enough to be repeatedly re-posed at key moments. What is an author? What role does the ‘author’ figure perform in contemporary CSS? How do claims made alongside or against an author undergird or undercut the authority of research, arguments, claims and statements in the field? What does it do to a field that sought to challenge, disrupt and overturn authority claims when its own reliance on foundational authors and their gendered, racialised assumptions is called into question? Michel Foucault famously claimed that in Western culture, the author serves as an ‘ideological figure’ insofar as it is via reference to ‘the author’ that the proliferation of meanings inherent to an author’s work, inherent to language, stops (Foucault 1984, 118–119). The cultural function of the author is to provide coherence, to individualise and to neutralise contradictions and slippages within and between texts. This is evident, for example, when we debate what is most representative of an author’s work and what is not, or what ‘turns’ an author’s work may have taken, such as a ‘political’, ‘aesthetic’ or ‘ethical turn’. It is also evident in what is presupposed in our citational practices when we invoke an author’s ‘authority’ and, in turn, signify our own and/or others belonging to a particular intellectual community or ‘school’. While such insights speak to the importance of questioning authors and authority, they also point to the acute problems that can arise when, as a result of this work, one or more of the canonical figures of an intellectual community is reread against the grain of contemporary sensibilities, if not the ethical commitments of that community. This has been well evidenced by contemporary controversies in CSS – including those resulting from accusations of sexual misconduct against Foucault and those of racism against the Copenhagen School, the latter of which have been interpreted by some as an assault on the authors and intellectual authority of that School. Both controversies have reinvigorated debates about whose voices have been privileged and whose have been marginalised not only in CSS but in the production of knowledge more generally – in short, in the authorship of our world. Foucault, of course, variously resisted the imposition of these and other ordering practices – tirelessly illustrating the imbrication of truth claims and knowledge with power, whilst provoking controversy with his conduct and ideas. This is beautifully illustrated by Erzsebet Strausz’s contribution to this special issue, as it explores the inconsistency and slipperiness of Foucault as an author. And perhaps this resistance to ordering practices also provides Foucault’s most vital contribution to CSS. Alongside po
本期特刊从一些简单的问题开始,这些问题在艺术、人文和社会科学领域定期提出,包括在关键安全研究(CSS)和关键国际关系(IR)中。然而,它们足够重要,可以在关键时刻反复摆出姿势。什么是作家?“作者”形象在当代CSS中扮演什么角色?与作者并肩或反对作者的主张如何巩固或削弱该领域研究、论点、主张和声明的权威?当它对基础作者及其性别化、种族化假设的依赖受到质疑时,它对一个试图挑战、破坏和推翻权威主张的领域做了什么?米歇尔·福柯(Michel Foucault)著名地声称,在西方文化中,作者是一个“意识形态人物”,因为通过提及“作者”,作者作品中固有的、语言中固有的意义的扩散就停止了(福柯1984,118-119)。作者的文化功能是提供连贯性,个性化,中和文本内部和文本之间的矛盾和失误。例如,当我们讨论什么最能代表作者的作品,什么不是,或者作者的作品可能发生了什么“转折”,例如“政治”、“美学”或“伦理转折”时,这一点就很明显了。当我们援引作者的“权威”,进而表示我们自己和/或其他人属于某个特定的知识群体或“学派”时,这一点在我们的引用实践中也很明显。虽然这些见解说明了质疑作者和权威的重要性,但它们也指出,当这项工作的结果是,一个知识界的一个或多个典型人物被违背当代情感的原则重读时,即使不是违背该群体的道德承诺,也可能会出现尖锐的问题。CSS的当代争议充分证明了这一点,包括对福柯性行为不端的指控和对哥本哈根学派的种族主义指控,后者被一些人解释为对该学派作者和知识权威的攻击。这两个争议都重新引发了关于谁的声音享有特权,谁的声音被边缘化的辩论,不仅在CSS中,而且在更广泛的知识生产中——简而言之,在我们世界的作者中。当然,福柯不同程度地抵制这些和其他秩序实践的强加——不知疲倦地展示了真理主张和知识与权力的叠加,同时他的行为和思想引发了争议。Erzsebet Strausz对本期特刊的贡献很好地说明了这一点,因为它探讨了福柯作为一名作家的不一致性和狡猾性。也许这种对秩序实践的抵制也提供了福柯对CSS最重要的贡献。与后结构主义、批判性建构主义和女权主义思想家一样,福柯的作品也为IR和安全研究中更广泛的持不同政见者运动奠定了基础,这场运动不那么受制于既定的理论传统和所谓的安全与解放的“宏大”叙事。随着CSS的出现

Writing with Foucault: openings to transformational knowledge practices in and beyond the classroom 与福柯一起写作:向课堂内外的转型知识实践敞开大门

ABSTRACT This article engages questions of authority and authorship in the discipline and the IR classroom, driven by a search for affirmative horizons within critical scholarship and academic practice. Prompted by a series of ‘failures’ attached to the social and disciplinary performance of ‘expertise’ in the context of violent conflict, I explore the practice of writing as it unfolds from Michel Foucault’s lesser cited essays and interviews as a generative, creative resource. I follow Foucault in breaking down the normalised perceptions of the ‘author function,’ revealing writing as an act that diagnoses, discovers, and potentially transforms writer, reader and the social structures that the writing addresses. Foucault’s experimental ethos brings to light the complex life worlds of sense-making through the vehicle of writing. It also invites us to embrace the transgenerational heritage that quietly structures our relationships to knowledge together with the multiple selves that arise and are co-present in the text. I enter such processes of negotiation and transgression in Foucault’s work and my own writing through a series of vignettes, which aim to actualise the ‘method’ these gestures may harbour for making ‘uncommon sense’ and re-inhabiting research and pedagogical practice as continuous, self-reflexive and self-authori(zi)ng journeys.
本文通过在批判性学术和学术实践中寻找积极的视野,探讨了学科和IR课堂中的权威和作者身份问题。在暴力冲突的背景下,一系列与“专业知识”的社会和学科表现相关的“失败”促使我探索米歇尔·福柯(Michel Foucault)较少被引用的文章和访谈中展现的写作实践,将其作为一种生成的、创造性的资源。我跟随福柯,打破了对“作者功能”的常态化看法,揭示了写作是一种诊断、发现并潜在地改变作者、读者和写作所涉及的社会结构的行为。福柯的实验精神通过写作的媒介揭示了复杂的生活世界。它还邀请我们拥抱跨代遗产,它悄悄地构建了我们与知识的关系,以及在文本中出现并共同存在的多重自我。我通过一系列的小插曲,在福柯的作品和我自己的写作中进入了这样的谈判和越界的过程,这些小插曲旨在实现这些姿态可能隐藏的“方法”,以制造“不寻常的意义”,并将研究和教学实践作为连续的、自我反思的和自我创作的旅程重新居住。

Killing in the name of: authors and authority in CSS 以作者和CSS权威的名义杀人

ABSTRACT Thirty-two years after the publication of Ashley and Walker’s (1990) article, ‘Speaking the Language of Exile: Dissident Thought in International Studies’, critical IR still fails to de-centre structures of white, male authority. This essay will consider the charge of patricide (and related imputations) directed at those who have arguably done precisely this – insofar as they have explicitly, and without apology, illuminated the racist underpinnings of Foucauldian and Copenhagen School ontologies and, hence, the very foundations of a great deal of scholarship in Critical Security Studies (CSS). Far from just another barb in a fractious debate, this essay will argue that the charge of patricide deserves our attention. It reveals a great deal about what is at stake – not only in terms of what can be said, what can be heard, and who can speak, but also in terms of what drives these delimitations: our emotional attachments to authors in general and white, male authority structures in particular.
在阿什利和沃克(1990)的文章《说流亡的语言:国际研究中的持不同政见者思想》发表32年后,批判性的国际关系仍然未能去中心化白人男性权威的结构。这篇文章将考虑对弑父罪的指控(以及相关的指责),这些指控针对的正是那些有争议地这样做的人——只要他们明确地,而且没有道歉,阐明了福柯学派和哥本哈根学派本体论的种族主义基础,因此,这是关键安全研究(CSS)中大量学术研究的基础。这篇文章绝不仅仅是一场激烈辩论中的又一场倒刺,而是认为,对弑父罪的指控值得我们关注。它揭示了很多利害攸关的问题——不仅仅是什么能说,什么能听,谁能说,还包括驱动这些界限的因素:我们对作者的情感依恋,尤其是对白人男性权威结构的情感依恋。

Who is afraid of Tim O’Brien? The existential truth of just war theory 谁害怕蒂姆·奥布莱恩?正义战争理论的存在真理

ABSTRACT Can war ever be justified? And what, if any, limits should bear on the waging of war? These questions are the stock-in-trade of scholars of just war theory. Hailing from a wide variety of academic disciplines, scholars of just war theory have historically been inclusive when it comes to the kinds of texts that they consider legitimate source-material. Legal treatises, biblical commentaries, political speeches, and military codeshave all been embraced, alongside academic writings on the ethics of war . It comes as some surprise, then, to observe the reticence that some just war theorists have displayed when invited to consider the novels of the Vietnam veteran and celebrated war writer Tim O’Brien as a body of work worthy of their analysis. Why, this article asks, are just war theorists so afraid of Tim O’Brien? And what does this tell us about the direction in which contemporary just war theory is moving? The article will argue that the reason just war theorists have been apprehensive about engaging O’Brien’s work is also the reason why they should read it. This alerts us, it concludes, to the case for (re-)envisioning just war theory in existentialist terms.
摘要战争有正当理由吗?如果有的话,发动战争应该受到什么限制?这些问题是正义战争理论学者的共识。正义战争理论的学者来自各种各样的学术学科,在他们认为合法来源材料的文本类型方面,他们历来具有包容性。法律论文、圣经评论、政治演讲和军事法典,以及关于战争伦理的学术著作,都受到了欢迎。因此,当一些正义的战争理论家被邀请将这位越南老兵和著名战争作家蒂姆·奥布莱恩的小说视为值得他们分析的作品时,他们表现出的沉默让人感到有些惊讶。这篇文章问道,为什么只有战争理论家如此害怕蒂姆·奥布莱恩?这告诉我们当代正义战争理论的发展方向是什么?这篇文章将辩称,正义战争理论家对参与奥布莱恩的工作感到担忧的原因也是他们应该阅读这篇文章的原因。文章总结道,这提醒我们,用存在主义的术语重新设想正义战争理论是有道理的。

Entangled observers? A quantum perspective on authority in critical security studies 纠缠的观察者?从量子角度看关键安全研究中的权威性

ABSTRACT The conventional author-driven summary of the Stern–Gerlach experiment omits the fact that their famous measurements only appeared when the smoke of a poor graduate student’s cheap cigar produced a reaction with the silver atoms. Indeed, this crucial experiment in the history of quantum physics would have been impossible if not for the fortuitous intersection of behavioural norms for white male elite – cigar smoking at the laboratory bench – and the material conditions of the junior scientist – a socioeconomic status that left him unable to afford higher-quality cigars. While the simplistic narrative of authorship may conveniently reduce this experiment to Stern and Gerlach, a quantum reading of this quantum experiment reveals the ontological entanglement of identity, materiality, social norms and the experimental apparatus itself with the authors – and, just with other entangled phenomena, our apparently simple description is woefully incomplete without acknowledging its entangled reality. Intervening into a decades-long debate on the nature of authorship, observation and rigour in critical security studies, I argue that the quantum model of ontologically entangled observation offers a powerful model for problematising authority in critical security studies .
传统的作者对Stern-Gerlach实验的总结忽略了这样一个事实:他们著名的测量结果只有在一个贫穷的研究生抽的廉价雪茄的烟雾与银原子发生反应时才会出现。事实上,如果不是白人男性精英的行为规范(在实验室抽雪茄)和年轻科学家的物质条件(社会经济地位使他买不起更高质量的雪茄)的偶然交集,这个在量子物理学史上至关重要的实验是不可能完成的。虽然作者身份的简单叙述可以方便地将这个实验归结为斯特恩和格拉赫,但对这个量子实验的量子解读揭示了身份、物质性、社会规范和实验仪器本身与作者之间的本体论纠缠——而且,就像其他纠缠的现象一样,我们表面上简单的描述如果不承认其纠缠的现实,就会可悲地不完整。介入长达数十年的关于关键安全研究中作者身份、观察和严谨性的本质的辩论,我认为本体论纠缠观察的量子模型为关键安全研究中的权威问题提供了一个强大的模型。

Provincialising security: materiality and sensoriality 安全的地方化:物质性和感官性

ABSTRACT Security has come to embody a self-evident and much sought-after kind of good, and has come to colonise imaginaries, debates, policies, and large swathes of what social life means in various corners of the world. Echoing postcolonial calls for decentring that which is taken for granted, my essay seeks to provincialise security in three distinct ways. Drawing on my research on the securitisation of the Roma in Italy, first, I trace the transformation of the term sicurezza from safety to security in a recent-historical perspective, showing how the notion morphed from bodily integrity to a much more blurred – though taken for granted – concept. Second, using a non-representational approach grounded in new materialism, I show that what hides beneath the ubiquitous talk of sicurezza surrounding the Roma nowadays are dimensions of materiality and sensoriality that construct insecurity in a relational and ever-shifting manner.

摘要安全体现了一种不言自明的、备受追捧的善,并将世界各个角落的想象、辩论、政策和大量社会生活的意义殖民化。我的文章试图以三种不同的方式将安全问题省级化,这与后殖民时代对去中心化的呼吁相呼应。根据我对意大利罗姆人证券化的研究,首先,我从最近的历史角度追溯了sicurezza一词从安全到安全的转变,展示了这个概念是如何从身体完整演变成一个更加模糊的——尽管被认为是理所当然的——概念的。其次,使用一种基于新唯物主义的非代表性方法,我表明,如今围绕罗姆人的sicurezza无处不在的言论背后隐藏着物质性和感官性的维度,它们以一种关系和不断变化的方式构建了不安全感。第三,我特别重视罗姆人在非殖民化行动中的观点,这对他们的证券化以及将罗姆人相关问题作为安全问题的总体框架提出了质疑。最后,我展示了拓扑结构框架在安全省级化方面的生产力,以及围绕它的西方中心论成果。

Echoing postcolonial calls for decentring that which is taken for granted, my essay seeks to provincialise security in three distinct ways. Drawing on my research on the securitisation of the Roma in Italy, first, I trace the transformation of the term sicurezza from safety to security in a recent-historical perspective, showing how the notion morphed from bodily integrity to a much more blurred – though taken for granted – concept. Second, using a non-representational approach grounded in new materialism, I show that what hides beneath the ubiquitous talk of sicurezza surrounding the Roma nowadays are dimensions of materiality and sensoriality that construct insecurity in a relational and ever-shifting manner. Third, I privilege the perspective of the Roma in a decolonising move that questions their securitisation and the overall framing of Roma-related concerns as a security problem.

Abstract “Children are our future”. This is the dominant understanding of childhood we have today. The child, is an investment in the future. The investment that will yield the nation, the economy and the world with the continuity that it wants and requires. The future is secured by the child. This investment, however, is never secure. In fact, the investment in the child is often also a cause of debilitating insecurity. The child is feared, worried about and paranoically obsessed about. Is this all there is to the child? Whatever happens to “play” – the quintessential activity of the modern child- in this in/secure investment? In this intervention, I critique these investments by gesturing towards a disentanglement of the child away from such spectacles of crisis towards novel associations with the child as a site of political possibility. Children’s play not only comprise the pre-mature through which a future may or may not be actualised, I argue, but also offer a revelatory political possibility through its negation of the mature; in enacting the “im-mature”. The way the child resists maturity, the modes through which they resist, question, play with and negate the law and the discourse of the mature and consequently the law of the nation gestures towards alternative political becomings. Becomings through which we may find, imagine and exercise practices subversive of authoritative structures which we are all continually governed and disciplined by.
摘要“孩子是我们的未来”。这是我们今天对童年的主要理解。孩子,是对未来的投资。这项投资将为国家、经济和世界带来它想要和需要的连续性。孩子保证了未来。然而,这种投资从来都不安全。事实上,对孩子的投资往往也是削弱不安全感的原因。这个孩子令人恐惧、担忧和偏执。这就是孩子的全部吗?在这种投资中,“玩耍”——现代儿童的典型活动——会发生什么?在这次干预中,我通过将儿童从这种危机景象中解脱出来,将儿童作为政治可能性的场所,来批评这些投资。我认为,儿童游戏不仅包括未来可能实现或不实现的早熟,而且通过对成熟的否定提供了一种启示性的政治可能性;在制定“im成熟”。孩子抗拒成熟的方式,他们抗拒、质疑、玩弄和否定法律的模式,以及成熟者的话语,从而国家的法律,都是走向另类政治的姿态。通过它,我们可以发现、想象和实践颠覆权威结构的做法,而我们都不断受到权威结构的统治和约束。

Playing the refugee: aesthetics of trauma in mainstream refugeehood dramaturgy 扮演难民:主流难民戏剧中的创伤美学

ABSTRACT There can hardly be a more commonplace way to start talking about playing on stage than stating the social and political character that theatre has had since its inception. Even when it is not self-defined as ‘political’, the aesthetic and the educational value of theatre is considered self-evident while its engagement with issues of the day is very common. Refugeehood could not escape stage representation, and this is what I consider in the following few pages. How should refugehood be represented on stage beyond aestheticisation of trauma?
要谈论舞台上的戏剧,没有比陈述戏剧自诞生以来所具有的社会和政治特征更普通的方式了。即使它不被自我定义为“政治”,戏剧的美学和教育价值也被认为是不言而喻的,而它与当今问题的接触是非常普遍的。难民身份无法逃脱舞台的表现,这就是我在接下来的几页中所考虑的。在舞台上,除了创伤的审美化之外,难民身份应该如何表现?

Playing with the self 玩自我

Abstract This essay is an exploration of how playing with identity through cosplay opens the door to new understandings of ourselves. It is written and painted to feel a little like cosplay’s twisting corridors of self and other, and closely follows my own experiences. Through glimpses of putting on the masks of different characters in different situations, it shows how the release of cosplay renews one's own reality. This intervention shows that while cosplay can be understood as a form of playful resistance to normative subjection, it is also itself an activity subject to the exclusionary politics of those who write the characters, and who are thus able to affect the stakes of the game.
摘要:本文旨在探讨如何通过角色扮演来扮演身份,从而开启对自我的新认识。它的写作和绘画感觉有点像cosplay的自我和他人的扭曲走廊,并密切关注我自己的经历。通过在不同情境中戴上不同角色的面具的一瞥,展示了cosplay的发布如何更新自己的现实。这种干预表明,虽然角色扮演可以被理解为一种对规范臣服的有趣抵抗形式,但它本身也是一种活动,受制于那些撰写角色的人的排他性政治,因此他们能够影响游戏的风险。
