Qu'est-ce qu'un corps? Ce livre s'attache d'avantage à se poser cette question qu'à y repondre. L'ouvrage propose de complexifier quelques lieux communs à diverses echelles de proximite de cet assemblage materiel qu'est le corps. Ceci permet d'integrer pleinement les objets, atmospheres et autres corps environnant celui-ci afin de proposer une lecture politique de leurs relations volontaires et fortuites. Du sweatshirt à capuche porte par Trayvon Martin lorsqu'il se fit tuer dans la banlieue de Miami Gardens, Florida, lorsqu'il se fit tuer, aux rues new-yorkaises durant Occupy Wall Street, en passant par le mur d'apartheid en Palestine, ce livre progresse par une succession d'exemples illustrant l'hypothese selon laquelle les corps et les objets de toutes tailles entretiennent necessairement des rapports politiques entre eux.Florida, aux rues new-yorkaises durant Occupy Wall Street, en passant par le mur d'apartheid en Palestine, ce livre progresse par une succession d'exemples illustrant l'hypothese selon laquelle les corps et les objets de toutes tailles entretiennent necessairement des rapports politiques entre eux. What is a body? This book is more invested in raising the question than in offering a definitive answer. Instead, it questions some stereotypes concerning structures located at various degrees of proximity to the body's material assemblage, allowing a better integration of the surrounding objects, atmosphere and other bodies and proposing a political reading of their relationship to the body, whether deliberate or accidental. From the hoodie that Trayvon Martin wore when he was killed in the suburbs of Miami Gardens, Florida, to the streets of New York City during Occupy Wall Street and the apartheid wall in Palestine, this book moves through a series of episodes that illustrate how bodies and objects of all sizes are enmeshed in deeply entangled political relationships.

Using the lenses of realism, liberalism, the English School and constructivism, this book explains how the divisions and differences in African identities affect African international politics.This book explores the African condition in the twenty-first century. It analyses how geographical, racial, ethnic, linguistic, religious and power differences shape continental and intercontinental relations in Africa through the creation of identities and values which militate against intra-continental or regional relations. The author assesses inclusionary and exclusionary, rational and irrational relationships, interactions and non-interactions which occur between geographical, linguistic, racial and religious entities in Africa. He suggests that, in these moments, one entity will negatively relate, interact or refuse to interact with another entity for the gains of the former and to the detriment of the latter or even to the detriment of both entities. Divided into two parts, the first part of the book employs an ecumenical approach to discuss the divisions and differences that disunite Africa as a continent and Africans as a people and how they affect African international politics. Part II goes on to explore how this ‘othering’ can be superseded by non-discriminatory, unifying and positive identities and values.Examining the possibility of creating identities and values that can unite Africa as a continent and Africans as a people, this book will be of interest to scholars of African politics, international relations and political theory.

"Whether we talk about human learning and unlearning, securitization, or political economy, the forces and mechanisms generating both globalization and disintegration are causally efficacious across the world. Thus, the processes that led to the victory of the 'Leave' campaign in the June 2016 referendum on UK European Union membership are not simply confined to the United Kingdom, or even Europe. Similarly, conflict in Ukraine and the presidency of Donald Trump hold implications for a stage much wider than EU-Russia or the United States alone.Patomeaki explores the world-historical mechanisms and processes that have created the conditions for the world's current predicaments and, arguably, involve potential for better futures. Operationally, he relies on the philosophy of dialectical critical realism and on the methods of contemporary social sciences, exploring how crises, learning and politics are interwoven through uneven wealth-accumulation and problematical growth-dynamics. Seeking to illuminate the causes of the currently prevailing tendencies towards disintegration, antagonism and--ultimately--war, he also shows how these developments are in fact embedded in deeper processes of human learning. The book embraces a Wellsian warning about the increasingly likely possibility of a military disaster, but its central objective is to further enlightenment and holoreflexivity within the current world-historical conjuncture. This work will be of interest to students and scholars of international relations, peace research, security studies and international political economy. "--Provided by publisher.
