摘要 在最有影响力的战争和暴力理论和实践中，隐藏着对男性气质、文本及其体现的想象。我将我的母亲视为一个非主导的身体，并将她关于战争、暴力和塞浦路斯的故事解读为挑战这种有毒的男子气概的反复的肉体见解和实践，我认为，这样的表演和体现（我称之为活的档案），尽管存在多重紧张，但仍使我们重新定位于新兴的非殖民视野。在这样做的过程中，我直接挑战和解开自满的国际关系安全和战争史学，以及他们坚持通过汇集某些档案（即暴力场所的图像和国家文件）并压制那些系统地、一致地指向现代性暴力框架的内容来撰写和写作的方式，这些框架包括它们所产生的暴力男性气质，而这些框架是消灭和未来的基础。这种坚持与某些有毒的代表制度相勾结，期望某些主体、主权者和机构在我们与世界之间命令和重申（产生）殖民和暴力的种族化男性（和种族化女性化）做法。活的档案也是那些发明的符号、想象和过度行为，它们压制了物质性及其僵局（即以捕捉、黑暗、非性别等形式以及符号和虚构的解决方式），暴露了现代性虚构的局限性，并反对任何在扬弃暴力的同时产生暴力的解决方案和劳动。
ABSTRACT Huddled within the most influential theorisations and praxes of war and violence are imaginations of collating masculinities, texts and their embodiments. Interpreting and reading my mother as a non-dominant body, and her stories about war, violence, and Cyprus as re-iterative corporeal insights and practices challenging such toxic masculinities, I argue that such performances and embodiments (what I call living archives), albeit with multiple tensions, re-orient us to emerging decolonial horizons. In doing so, I directly challenge and unsuture the complacent IR historiographies of security and war and the ways they insist on composing and writing by bringing together certain archives (i.e., images of violent places and state documents) and silencing those which systematically and consistently point to modernity’s violent frameworks including their production of violent masculinities on which extinguishment and futures lie. Such an insistence colludes with certain toxic regimes of representation expecting certain subjects, sovereigns, and institutions to order and reiterate (produce) colonial and violent racialized masculine (and racialized feminized) practices between ourselves and the world. Living archives are also those invented signs, imaginations, and excesses that press materiality and its impasses (i.e., in the form of capture, blackness, non-genders, etc. and resolution of signs and fictions), exposing the limits of modernity’s fictioning, and against any resolution and labor that produces violence all the while sublating it.
