American exceptionalism and the bin Laden raid / Hasian, Marouf   Journal Article
Hasian, Marouf Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract This paper argues that Operation Neptune Spear, or the bin Laden Raid, reinforced US elite and public beliefs in American exceptionalism and the importance of carrying out numerous 'overseas contingency operations'. The combination of textual and legal rationales for the raid treated the mission as a legal and effective raid, and it could now serve as a visual model for future aggressive war fighting. This is problematic because it emboldens those who want to move away from softer, 'hearts and minds' ways of dealing with enemies, at the same time that it legitimates targeted killings and encourages violations of other nations' territorial sovereignty.

Colonial Amnesias, photographic memories, and demographic biopo / Hasian, Marouf   Journal Article
Hasian, Marouf Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract This article provides readers with a biopolitical critique of the recent debates that have swirled around the renovations at the Royal Museum for Central Africa (rmca) and the 'Memory of Congo' exhibits. The author argues that the rmca has become a contested site of memory, where some older photographs that were once used in Congo Reform Movements have been reappropriated in (post)colonial disputes about the epistemic and demographic features of what Adam Hochschild has called the forgotten Congolese 'holocaust'.
