And coming up in 2003, a special issue on Violence and Redemption, edited by
the Late Liberalism Collective. Focusing on the relationship between
redemptive promises and the organization,
experience, and effects of violence, these essays study the ways in
which ethically charged political ambition, both liberal and
nonliberal, sometimes organizes violence and sometimes attempts to
heal the breach that comes in its wake.
The essays examine topics such as the discourses of socioeconomic
crisis in Mexico in the 1980s; continuities among plantation slavery,
colonization, and the emergence of independent states as war machines in
Africa; an ethnography of Palestinian suicide bombing; the
architecture of mass rioting and rape in Indonesia; the experience of
unredeemed suffering in Herman Melville's wartime poem "Shiloh"; and
the aggression of liberal failure in Australia.
Contributors include: Tim Blackmore, John Borneman, Gillian
Cowlishaw, Richard Falk, Ken Graves, Ghassan Hage, Abidin Kusno, Eva
Lipman, Claudio Lomnitz, Patchen Markell, Achille Mbembe, Laura
