Research interests

 

Specific research interests:

Veronique's research is informed by what she calls a "grammatical reading" - an application of the philosophy of the later Wittgenstein to world politics. Within the context of world politics she grammatically reads ethics, subjectivity (including humanism and posthumanism), cosmopolitanism, universality, love and ethics, gender, human rights and International Relations theory.

Her most recent publications are:

2016a. "Writing narrative as ethics and philosophy in International Relations: Reflections on a difficulty in writing a research monograph" Journal of Narrative Poltiics, 3(1): http://jnp.journals.yorku.ca/index.php/default/article/view/60/67

2016b. "Seeing humanity anew: Grammatically reading liberal cosmopolitanism." In Re-Grounding Cosmopolitanism: Towards a Post-Foundational Cosmopolitanism, edited by Tamara Caraus and Elena Paris. Abingdon: Routledge.

2016c. "Dissolutions of the Self." In Narrative Global Politics, edited by Elizabeth Dauphinée and Naeem Inayatullah, 25-34. Abingdon: Routledge.

2016d. "(Im)possible Universalism: Remarks on the Politics and Ethics of Grammar." E-International Relations. http://www.e-ir.info/2016/07/29/impossible-universalism-remarks-on-the-politics-and-ethics-of-grammar/.

2016e. "Afterword: The horror of love." In Anaesthesia, edited/curated by Valentina Abenavoli, London: Akina Books. [Photobook]

Current research projects:

Veronique 's latest article is  "What's love got to do with it?: Emotions, Ethics and Encounter in International Relations" forthcoming in the Review of International Studies. This is part of a series of publications which constitutes a larger research project on love in global politics. She is also addressing the implications of the work of Stanley Cavell for International Relations.
