Abstract

ABSTRACT This article seeks to challenge Global North spatial imaginations of war as ‘there’ and peace as ‘here’. It proposes this spatial rethinking against a background of migration being a defining feature of our time. Based on participant observation and an action research project, the article analyses embodied, emplaced encounters with violence and care that migrants experience in the Belgian capital Brussels. These encounters can be violent, but also productive of trust. The concepts of streams of violence and streams of peace are used to theorize these dynamics, thus reconfiguring understandings of where and when war and peace take place.

挑战和平与冲突研究的“这里”和“那里”:移民与暴力流和和平流的相遇

本文试图挑战全球北方对战争为“那里”、和平为“这里”的空间想象。它提出了在移民背景下的空间反思，这是我们这个时代的一个决定性特征。本文基于参与式观察和一个行动研究项目，分析了移民在比利时首都布鲁塞尔遭遇的具体的、安置的暴力和关怀。这些遭遇可能是暴力的，但也会产生信任。暴力流和和平流的概念被用来将这些动态理论化，从而重新配置对战争与和平发生的地点和时间的理解。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Intervention and Statebuilding is a cross-disciplinary journal devoted to critical analysis of international intervention, focussing on interactions and practices that shape, influence and transform states and societies. In 21st century political practice, states and other actors increasingly strive to transplant what they see as normatively progressive political orders to other contexts. Accordingly, JISB focuses on the complex interconnections and mutually shaping interactions between donor and recipient communities within military, economic, social, or other interventional contexts, and welcomes perspectives on political life of, and beyond, European state-building processes. The journal brings together academics and practitioners from cross-disciplinary backgrounds, including international relations, political science, political economy, sociology, international law, social anthropology, geography, and regional studies. The editors are particularly interested in specific or comparative in-depth analyses of contemporary or historical interventions and state-building processes that are grounded in careful fieldwork and/or innovative methodologies. Multi or cross-disciplinary contributions and theoretically challenging pieces that broaden the study of intervention and state building to encompass processes of decision-making, or the complex interplay between actors on the ground, are especially encouraged.
