Alternative Accountabilities in Global Politics: The Scars of Violence: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Alternative Accountabilities in Global Politics: The Scars of Violence" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

In fields such as politics, international relations, public administration and international law, there is a rapidly growing interest in the topic of accountability. In this innovative new work, Steele shows how we might recognize how an alternative form of accountability in global politics has been present for some time, and that, furthermore, this forms continued presence remains one of the most politically powerful, if not endurable, possibilities for resistance in the near future.

This book argues that the physical and visually shocking outcomes of violence found on the bodies of humans, as well as the buildings and landscapes which surround us, specifically the scars they leave behind, remain one of our most compelling forms of accountability. Steele develops the theoretical argument on scars and exteriority utilizing insights from several philosophical and theoretical resources including Hannah Arendt, Erving Goffmann, and Richard Rorty. The work examines scars and their effects through several illustrations, including the accounts of Emmett Till, Iranian protestor Neda Agha-Soltan, the Syrian boy Hamza al-Khateeb, the massacre in WWII and then memorializing throughout the 20th century of the Lidice children in the modern-day Czech Republic, the particular architecturally destructive outcomes of the 2008-9 Gaza War, the loss of the Twin Towers in New York, as well as a variety of violent scars found on the landscapes of Europe and Southeast Asia.

Emphasizing the importance of the space and time of scars, the book illustrates how an alternative form of accountability in the scar can be a useful, disruptive, spontaneous, but also creative practice to challenge the discourses of violence which remain with us today.

Alternative Accountabilities in
Global Politics

Interventions
Edited by:
Jenny Edkins, Aberystwyth University and Nick Vaughan-Williams,
University of Warwick
As Michel Foucault has famously stated, knowledge is not made for understanding; it is made for cutting. In this spirit the EdkinsVaughan-Williams Interventions series solicits cutting edge, critical works that challenge mainstream understandings in international relations. It is the best place to contribute post disciplinary works that think rather than merely recognize and affirm the world recycled in IR's traditional geopolitical imaginary
Michael J. Shapiro, University of Hawai'i at Mnoa, USA
The series aims to advance understanding of the key areas in which scholars working within broad critical post-structural and post-colonial traditions have chosen to make their interventions, and to present innovative analyses of important topics.
Titles in the series engage with critical thinkers in philosophy, sociology, politics and other disciplines and provide situated historical, empirical and textual studies in international politics.
