Terror, Intimacy, EthnographyAbstract
The Special Issue proposed here gathers five articles that, stemming from ethnographic research, propose a reflection on the radical relationship between terrorist practices and experiences of intimacy. The Special Issue focuses on the ways in which these two dimensions are linked, suggesting that terrorist practices involve technologies that directly affect experiences considered intimate, concerning bodies, homes, routines, and affections. We argue, with the present proposal, that this is also why the effects of such practices reverberate far beyond the time and place in which they occur. Starting from ethnographic contexts involving routines of state violence in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro; an episode of sexual violence in an agrarian conflict in Paraíba; experiences of forced displacement and exile related to the Colombian conflict; and the armed conflict in Brazil from its urban peripheries; we also want to investigate the political effects of the presence of terror in the midst of everyday life and intimate networks of relationships.
