“…Genderový výzkum se nerovná výzkumu pouze žen. Ačkoli velké množství děl se zabývá rolemi žen v bezpečnostních strukturách, výzkum maskulinit je stále více prominentní ve feministických bezpečnostních studiích (Haider 2016;Higate 2007;Kirby -Henry 2012;Parpart 2015;Welland 2013) stejně tak jako výzkum sexuality a jejího vztahu k mezinárodní politice (Richter-Montpetit 2018; Shepherd -Sjoberg 2012;Weber 2016;Wilcox 2014).…”

Thinking on war, violence and security has always been associated with concepts of femininity and masculinity. Similarly, wars and political transformations also change the notions of the roles of women and men in society. This article shows how the links between gender identities and threat construction, understanding of aggression, or social sensitivity to different types of victims of violence can be studied academically. It introduces feminist security studies, embeds it in the research of international relations and security, and encourages its development in the Czech academic environment. The article introduces key concepts and methods of studying gender in (international) security, identifies key themes in feminist security research, and explains various approaches and types of questions that can be investigated in this area.

“…Similarly, in these instances, the excitement and exuberance of war are not just experienced by the individual characters, but move, circulate and multiply amongst bodies. And while the Norwegian soldiers are bounded by the 'myths' of militarised masculinity 82 , for those in the rallies, it is through the imaginaries of nation communities 83 that they come together and that sensations resonate and multiply.…”

Joy and war: Reading pleasure in wartime experiences

In recent years there has been a ‘turn’ to thinking about war through the experiences of those touched by it. While this scholarship has generated numerous important insights, its focus has tended to remain on wars’ violences, those responsible for enacting them, and the effects of such violence. In this article, the experiences of pleasure and joy in war that simultaneously take place are placed centre stage. Drawing on three war novels, the article tracks three recurring themes of pleasurable and joyful experiences related to war: bodily pleasures, the ‘togetherness’ of war, and moments of joy that escape war’s reach. Through this focus, war is shown to work across a range of affective registers and as never totalising or universalising in its experience. The article argues that paying attention to joy and pleasure can work to displace war as a focus of analysis, directing attention instead to the experiences of those who live through war and how they survive, sustain, and resist it.

This paper seeks to explore what we can learn about embodied difference in humanitarianism and peacebuilding by taking seriously women's memoirs as a form of 'flesh witnessing' (Harari 2009). It argues that the essays in Chasing Misery (Hoppe 2014a) are simultaneously claims to the authority of 'The Field' but also reveal the sense to which the women feel they are only 'passing' as aid workers. I note three themes of difference, beginning with the construction of 'The Field' as a site of embodied authority and the ways in which the women's essays reinforce and trouble this. Secondly, the writers' feeling different from, and separate to, the people they work with and for. Finally, embodied gender presented with reference to imagined 'real' aid worker.
