Title Proper | ‘What’s love got to do with it?’ ethics, emotions, and encounter in International Relations |
Language | ENG |
Author | Pin-Fat, Véronique |
Summary / Abstract (Note) | By paying attention to love, this article offers a grammatical reading of International Relations’ founding grammar of inside/outside as an ethics of encounter. The decision to focus on love is, I suggest, to contend with the possibility that IR may express a lethal politics and ethics. I seek to substantiate this claim through an unsettling reading of neo-Jamesian contributions to the emotional turn. I conclude that the discipline’s founding grammar is an ‘avoidance of love’ and offer a reminder that an alternative way of loving is possible. |
