“…She proposes a multi-scalar geopolitics of intimacy in which the site, instead of the event or magnitude, situates terror acts as ‘attempts to exert political control through fear’ (531) both domestically and globally. As such her emphasis on the intimate as an embodied spatiality offers ways for this study to explore the micro-geopolitics ‘of emotions as political forces’ (Pain, 2014b, 2015a, 2015b: 73) mediated across scale and via objects (Ahmed, 2004; Fanghanel, 2014) of Istanbul’s (half)built environment.…”

In this paper, I examine where violence appears and how it is made sense of in Istanbul’s everyday settings of construction and renewal. I develop a visual methodology and utilise ordinary violences as a framework to map fear and memories as extended human material. The discussion is based on a filmic iteration of audio-visual material on memories of violence interrogated through ways of doing and senses of belonging, security and use of space in Istanbul. I first discuss the differential routes to spatially exploring violence. Then, I present processes of visual research-creation in order to situate my argument on the emergent visibilities of violence. Next, I present textual layers of violence within immediate and networked settings of memory and emotions activated by Istanbul’s everyday settings. Conclusion summarises the main argument on the liminal, ‘barely visible’ geographies of ordinary violence and the role of critical visual research in projecting improbable visibilities of restricted movement, under/hyper-exposed places and muted bodies.

Minds, Hearts, and Bodies, Not Data Points: A Response to Harris, McDonald, and Sparks’s “Sexual Harassment in the Military: Individual Experiences, Demographics, and Organizational Contexts”

Harris, McDonald, and Sparks’s recent quantitative research article, Sexual Harassment in the Military: Individual Experiences, Demographics, and Organizational Contexts, does not deliver its title’s promises. In 2018, social science research investigating, describing, and, ultimately, impacting human lives has advanced beyond overly simplistic figures of data points on x- and y-axes and rhetorical findings. Therefore, this response challenges numerous aspects of Harris, McDonald, and Sparks’s article. It identifies pragmatism as a valuable theoretical perspective from which to investigate the phenomenon of sexual harassment in the military. It further asserts that a qualitative methodology best provides rich, nuanced, and descriptive data from which researchers and scholars can identify measures to mitigate negative experiences for all service members regardless of gender.
