“…This confines them to the private sphere, separated from politics and the public (Huynh, 2015b: 37). Children whose experiences do not fit within the remits of normative childhood are portrayed as deviant and “their childhoods marked as abnormal or even immoral” (Lee-Koo, 2020: 21). Thus, liberal notions of childhood based on middle-class ideals (Golden and Erdreich, 2020) fail to productively theorise the lives of children from different cultural contexts, other than as victims.…”

This paper focuses on art productions by children participating in an art-based wellbeing intervention project in Kashmir. Drawing on feminist security studies, we conducted narrative analysis to explore how children represent in/security. The locations of in/security were the environment, the body, and the socio-political realm. Children articulated nuanced and complex representations of the natural and social world, influenced by local and global forces, and created their own meanings and practices of in/security.

“…This, in turn, relies on dominant ideas about childhood as the arbiter of where various political subjects are located in these binaries, as determined by their implication in violence visited on child bodies—violence that cannot easily be abided as legitimate but which may underwrite the claimed legitimacy of retribution. As Lee-Koo (2020) puts it, “The value of children’s suffering is in scripting state identity and emboldening state action” (p. 29).…”

Avoidance of civilian casualties increasingly affects the political calculus of legitimacy in armed conflict. “Collateral damage” is a problem that can be managed through the material production of precision, but it is also the case that precision is a problem managed through the cultural production of collateral damage. Bearing decisively on popular perceptions of ethical conduct in recourse to political violence, childhood is an important site of meaning-making in this process. In pop culture, news dispatches, and social media, children, as quintessential innocents, figure prominently where the dire human consequences of imprecision are depicted. Children thus affect the practical “precision” of even the most advanced weapons, perhaps precluding a strike for their presence, potentially coloring it with their corpses. But who count as children, how, when, where, and why are not at all settled questions. Drawing insights from what the 2015 film, Eye in the Sky, reveals about a key social technology of governance we have already internalized, I explore how childhood is itself a terrain of engagement in the (un)making of precision.

“…Enquanto criança, a imagem da Malala ganhou força simbólica com forte engajamento e comoção ao redor do mundo, com virtudes liberais de desenvolvimento, gênero e raça reinscrevendo noções sobre o Sul Global como o outro inferior, onde homens maus residem e precisam ser contidos pelo Norte Global. Sua imagem navegou pelas narrativas de criança vítima/vulnerável à criança excepcional, para justificar as intervenções na região do Paquistão e Afeganistão, constrangendo e limitando seu ativismo político de acordo com os interesses particulares (Berents, 2016(Berents, , 2020Lee-Koo, 2020;Ryder, 2015).…”
