DECONSTRUCTING INTERNATIONAL POLITICS MICHAEL DILLON Downloaded by [University of Defence] at 01:12 24 May 2016 DECONSTRUCTING INTERNATIONAL POLITICS MICHAEL DILLON Downloaded by [University of Defence] at 01:12 24 May 2016 INTERVENTIONS DECONSTRUCTING INTERNATIONAL POLITICS Michael Dillon is internationally regarded for his contributions by political philoso- phers, international relations scholars and security studies experts, as well as by philosophers more broadly. It is difficult to overrate his importance to the devel- opment of critical deconstructive approaches, not only in challenging traditional scholarship and addressing contemporary politics but in articulating new approaches and new thinking. This book draws together some of his key works and is framed by an introduc- tion written specially for the volume. It is the first full-length work to draw on the insights and techniques of deconstruction to analyse international relations. Influ- enced primarily by Derrida, it critiques the cornerstones of international relations such as modernity, the state, the subject, security and ethics and justice. This volume will provide an invaluable resource for teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate levels on traditional international relations courses and on the increasing number of specialised courses in critical approaches. Well designed and structured, it is accessible to the novice as well as challenging for the specialist. Michael Dillon is Emeritus Professor of Politics at the University of Lancaster, UK.

In this spirit the Edkins–Vaughan-Williams Interventions series solicits cutting-edge, critical works that challenge mainstream understandings in international rela- tions. 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 Mãnoa, USA The series aims to advance understanding of the key areas in which scholars work- ing 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.

The Emperor drew his sword from its sheath, and it was magnificently ornamented with gold and precious stones. Then said Messer Azzolino: it is very fine, but mine is finer by far. And he drew it forth. Then six hundred knights who were with him all drew forth theirs. When the Emperor saw the swords, he said that Azzolino’s was the finer.1 In the harsh conflict opposing the Guelphs and Ghibellines – a conflict of utter importance for the late medieval and early modern history of Italy and Europe – the feudal lord Ezzelino sends the Emperor a clear message: honours, reputation, nobility, beauty, ultimately rest on force. Gold is not important, good soldiers are, because good soldiers will find gold, not the contrary.

  • When the Map Becomes the Territory: Korzybski and Cyberculture
    When the Map Becomes the Territory: Korzybski and Cyberculture Thierry Bardini Département de Communication Université de Montréal Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed to: Thierry Bardini Département de Communication Université de Montréal C.P. 6128, Succursale Centre-ville Montréal QC H3C 3J7 Canada Email: [email protected] 2 Abstract: I examine in this paper the direct and indirect influences that Alfred Korzybski had on contemporary cyberculture. I consider two different but sometimes intertwined lines of thought, genres and/or disciplines: (1) science-fiction, and (2) communication and/or media studies. In the first case, I consider Korzybski’s direct influence on William Burroughs and Alfred van Vogt and thus his indirect influence on Philip K. Dick (PKD) and the 1980s genre of cyberpunk literature. In the second case, I show how Korzybski’s direct influence on Gregory Bateson, among other cyberneticians of the first hour (McCullogh and Northrop), and Neil Postman, contributed in shaping one of the leading modes of thought in this domain, i.e. “media ecology.” Altogether, I argue that Korzybski’s legacy in contemporary culture greatly exceeds the “map is not the territory” slogan: instead, through such notions as “the unbearable aporias of being”, the power of the conjunction and the relation between language and power (“control”), he helped shape today’s modes of thought. 3 Introduction This paper is about maps and territories, but about special kinds of maps and territories; digital (and not virtual) maps and territories. So I start with a serious question: say at the sattelite resolution of Google maps, for instance, doesn’t the map look like the territory? And if the territory itself is digital (as in cyberspace), isn’t the map the territory? In order to give some elements of answer to these questions I examine here the direct and indirect influences Alfred Korzybski had on contemporary cyberculture.

Designing Freedom 1 Stafford Beer 1 The Real Threat to “All We Hold Most Dear” The little house where I have come to live alone for a few weeks sits on the edge of a steep hill in a quiet village on the western coast of Chile. Huge majestic waves roll into the bay and crash magnificently over the rocks, sparkling white against the green sea under a winter sun. It is for me a time of peace, a time to clear the head, a time to treasure. For after all, such times are rare events for today’s civilized man. We spend our days boxed in our houses, swarming in and out of office blocks like tribes of ants, crammed into trains, canned in aeroplanes, locked solid in traffic jams on the freeway. Our unbiblical concern for what we shall eat, what we shall drink, and what we shall put on is amplified and made obsessional by the pressure to consume—way, way beyond the natural need.

  • Balancing Individualism and Collectivism: User Centric Policy Design to Enhance Evolutionary Development and to Address Complex Needs
    BALANCING INDIVIDUALISM AND COLLECTIVISM: USER CENTRIC POLICY DESIGN TO ENHANCE EVOLUTIONARY DEVELOPMENT AND TO ADDRESS COMPLEX NEEDS Janet McIntyre-Mills1 [email protected] ABSTRACT Do we have a choice between isolation in zero sum competitive nation states or multilateralism? I argue that based on an understanding of our common, intermeshed fate (Held et al 1999) that rational responses need to be systemic. This paper is exploratory. It considers the implications of ongoing research on the relevance of participation for testing out ideas for science, ethics, and democracy. Testing enables the better match of development responses to context, thus enabling ‘evolutionary development’, rather than ‘development for growth’. This is the difference between: • Development for growth which is unsustainable, because it ‘forgets’ the ‘externalities of poverty’ and pollution and • Policy adaptation (Giddens, 2009) that is based on responding to the environment by adapting and evolving designs that are socially, economically and environmentally sustainable. INTRODUCTION Greed has ‘boomeranged’ as pollution and poverty and selfishness has ‘boomeranged’ as war and conflict (Beck 1992, 1998, 1999 cited in McIntyre Mills, 2007 a, b, 2006 c, 2009 a, b). The argument developed in this paper starts where Habermas ends in the ‘Postnational Constellation’ (2001). Habermas argues that we can no longer limit democracy within the boundaries of a nation state. Giddens (2009) warns that localized efforts, whilst important for prefiguring change are insufficient to hold the market to account, unless they are applied regionally and internationally. The challenge remains how do we work across conceptual boundaries (cultural, political and professional) and spatial boundaries (organisational, community, regional, international)? 1 I acknowledge the outstanding contributions of Dr Denise De Vries, Flinders University, a Chief Investigator in the current CRCAH grant and the joint proposals on which we are working.

  • JGA Pocock's Barbarism and Religion
    erudition and the republic of letters 2 (2017) 431-458 brill.com/erl J.G.A. Pocock’s Barbarism and Religion B.W. Young Christ Church, Oxford [email protected] Abstract There are no parallels to the career of J.G.A. Pocock in Anglophone scholarship; the singularity of his intellectual trajectory is traced here through constant appeal to his enquiry into the intellectual environments in which Gibbon conceived and wrote his Decline and Fall; the present essay is an attempt at applying much the same interpretative principles at work in the six volumes of Barbarism and Religion both to Pocock and to this culminating study, interpreted as a summa of his practice as an intellectual histori- an. Pocock is an historian, not a philosopher, and this affects his conception of Enlight- enment, which he treats critically as an historian rather than reifying it in the manner of many philosophers. Pocock’s project is to undo the very idea of an ‘Enlightenment Project.’ Barbarism and Religion is not only a study of eighteenth-century conceptions of erudition and the Republic of Letters; it is a contemporary contribution to both. Keywords J.G.A. Pocock – Gibbon – Hobbes – Venturi – Oakeshott – historiography – historical theology – contextual scholarship … He was, we may suspect, a historian first and a philosopher second.1 ∵ 1 J.G.A.
