“…Therefore, a student's subjectivity is produced that involves multiple selves and others (Lupovici 2013). In our case, the four student participants, especially the one written as a story of a Syrian refugee, can be used to demonstrate that it is possible to attempt becoming 'the other', and conflating the student's lifeworld with the refugee's: an interruption of the orientalised other's dehumanization in the classroom (el-Malik, 2013). Surely, the latter is simply a perception of the student, and does not necessarily reflect an accurate account.…”

International Relations (IR) has increasingly paid attention to critical pedagogy. Feminist, postcolonial and poststructuralist IR scholarship, in particular, have long been advancing the discussions about how to create a pluralist and democratic classroom where 'the others' of politics can be heard by the students, who can critically reflect upon complex power relations in global politics. Despite its normative position, Critical Security Studies (CSS) has so far refrained from joining this pedagogical conversation. Deriving from the literatures of postcolonial and feminist pedagogical practices, it is argued that an IR scholar in the area of CSS can contribute to the production of a critical political subject in the 'uncomfortable classroom', who reflects on violent practices of security. Three pedagogical methods will be introduced: engaging with the students' lifeworlds, revealing the positionality of security knowledge claims, and opening up the classroom to the choices about how the youth's agency can be performed beyond the classroom. The argument is illustrated through the case of forced migration with specific reference to IR and Politics students' perceptions of Syrian refugees in Turkey. The article advances the discussions in critical IR pedagogy and encourages CSS scholarship to focus on teaching in accordance with its normative position.

This article asks questions of ambient violence, its analytic value, and how to affectively illustrate that value. Comprised of six thematically-interwoven essays, it examines Fanon's oeuvre to show how his analysis of, and claims about, (colonial) violence might be connected to eugenicist modes-ofthinking, or how a project of eugenics conditioned Fanon's work on sociogenics. If I were to title the six sections, they would be:I. A poetics of relation makes visible the social fabric of the figure of the person. II. With and on whose body colonial violence has written, despite angst over the use of violence. III. Hierarchies of social meaning. IV. 'We' seek the conditions of possibility for other relations in the face of dehumanizing ambient violence. V. 'We' read in the weave of the violence that hangs in the air. VI. A culture of eugenics, against which we accept the offer of 'sociogenics'.
