| Summary/Abstract |
Keramat Ali, a colonial soldier from Mymensingh in Bengal, was among the hundreds of people whose voices were recorded by the Prussian linguist Wilhelm Doegen in the Halfmoon POW Camp in Wunsdorf, Germany, during 1917–18. Some years later, Sawabali, an oilman from Sylhet, was recorded in 1934 by the Dutch ethnomusicologist Arnold Bake on board a ship sailing to Europe. Closely listening to these archival recordings in conjunction with one another, this essay considers the dual possibility of writing about sound and silence as historical evidence of empire while also writing microhistories of the worlds held within the recordings as worlds unto themselves, independent of the global and the imperial.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article attempts to problematise the conventional notion of dialogue, proposing 'utmost listening' as an alternative approach in International Relations (IR) dialogue. More specifically, I argue that we need to regard IR as a foreign language; I particularly explore the proposed approach in terms of feminist IR. Having a dialogue as a 'non-native' speaker demands hard work and consistent training. Most of all, a starting point would be to listen carefully to dialogue partners. This is different from the conventional approach in dialogue which presupposes that listening and speaking are situated almost equally in epistemological terms. In this sense, I reflect on myself as a 'provisional-straight man' researcher who engages with feminist IR. I also consider other men scholars, such as Robert Keohane. Finally, I introduce Momo - a fictional character in Michael Ende's novel - as an 'utmost listener'. What happens if we follow Momo in the IR community?

| Summary/Abstract |
his article considers the claims made by members of the current UK Coalition government to adopt a new style of listening, consultative politics based upon the so-called wisdom of the crowd. It considers how these claims have-and could have-been acted upon, focusing upon two central policy proposals; the funding of higher education and the reform of the National Health Service.
