Abstract

A growing number of scholars have sought to re-centre emotions in the study of international politics, however an overarching book on how emotions matter to the study of politics and war is yet to be published. This volume is aimed at filling that gap, proceeding from the assumption that a nuanced understanding of emotions can only enhance our engagement with contemporary conflict and war. Providing a range of perspectives from a diversity of methodological approaches on the conditions, maintenance and interpretation of emotions, the contributors interrogate the multiple ways in which emotions function and matter to the study of global politics. Accordingly, the innovative contribution of this volume is its specific engagement with the role of emotions and constitution of emotional subjects in a range of different contexts of politics and war, including the gendered nature of war and security; war traumas; post-conflict reconstruction; and counterinsurgency operations.

Abstract

Pourquoi donne-t-on la mort ? Qu'il soit le fait d'un individu ou d'un groupe, l'homicide apparaît paradoxalement aux yeux du témoin "civilisé" comme un acte inimaginable, alors que la pulsion de tuer est aussi fondamentalement inscrite dans la nature humaine que la pulsion sexuelle elle-même. Face à ces actes innommables, la société ne sait que multiplier les termes propres à les rejeter : "barbarie collective", "folie individuelle", autant de manières de répéter à l'infini la question sans se donner les moyens de répondre sur ce qui s'est effectivement passé et qui peut refaire surface à tout moment, en tous lieux et à toute époque. D'où la nécessité d'interpréter ce refoulement entre nous-même et l'acte de donner la mort pour dépasser les impasses de l'incompréhension, sortir de la fascination morbide et penser les conditions individuelles et collectives favorables à une sublimation qui redirigerait le pulsionnel vers d'autres buts. L'auteur propose dans ce livre trois figures dont le point commun est de s'avancer au plus près de la pulsion homicide, inaccessible même pour celui qui commet l'acte et n'en mesure souvent qu'après coup la nature et la portée : tuer pour défendre son identité, tuer pour survivre, tuer par ivresse de la toute-puissance.

Abstract

From Operation Desert Storm to the conflict in Bosnia, computerization and other scientific advances have brought about a revolution in warfare. This book shows how our high-tech age has spawned both increasingly powerful weapons and a rhetoric that disguises their apocalyptic potential in catch phrases like "smart weapons," "cyberwar," and "bloodless combat." A skillful combination of trenchant cultural study, provocative illustrations, and engrossing military, technical, and historical analysis, Postmodern War sheds new light on the ways we conceptualize and conduct war today. Analyzing the dynamics of conflicts from Afghanistan to Vietnam, Gray reveals the human forces of nationalism, greed, fear, and images of masculinity beneath the surface of trendy military doctrines such as "pure war" and "infowar." If we can identify and challenge the discourses of war, he persuasively argues, we can propose new discourses to replace them.
