Militarizing Critical Theory: War, Terror, Violence

In partnership with UCI’s Center for Ethnography, UCHRI is sponsoring a series of studio sessions that examine the uses and complicities of academic theories in the contemporary conduct of warfare, intelligence and security operations. The discussion of the fourth studio session on the topic of “War, Terror, Violence” was led by remarks of Dilip Gaonkar, Northwestern University and was held April 9, 2009 at UCHRI. Another workshop is planned on the topic “Militarization of Social Thought” with W.T. Mitchell, University of Chicago and Ghassan Hage, University of Melbourne, on May 21, 2009.
