Abstract

Batı merkezli bir bilgi yanlılığı, Uluslararası İlişkiler disiplinini bir süredir rahatsız etmiş ve Batılı olmayan
birçok akademisyeni yerli bilgi sistemleri geliştirmeye teşvik etmiştir. Ancak bunu yapmanın, hem belirli
kültürleri/tarihleri özselleştirme hem de bilgi üretiminin hiyerarşik ve dışlayıcı yapısını yeniden üretme riski
bulunmaktadır. Batılı olmayan yaklaşımların Uluslararası İlişkilere yönelttiği ekle-karıştır eleştirisinin tarzının
ötesine geçen bu makale, toplumsal cinsiyete dayalı devlet uygulamalarını anlamak için bağlantıların ve melez
tarihlerin önemini araştırmaktadır. Keşmir‘deki devlet performansına ilişkin bir vaka çalışması aracılığıyla,
makale hem Batılı hem de Batılı olmayan tarihlerden türetilen melez erkeksi mirasların (sömürge, Brahmini ve
Kshatriya) izini sürmektedir.

Going Beyond the Add-and-Stir Critique: Tracing the Hybrid Masculinist Legacies of the Performative State

Abstract

A West-centric knowledge bias has plagued International Relations (IR) for some time, prompting many
non-West scholars to develop indigenous knowledge systems. In doing so, there is, however, a risk of both
essentialization of certain cultures/histories; and reproducing the hierarchic and exclusionary structure of
knowledge production. Moving beyond the add and stir critique style of non-Western approaches to IR, this
paper explores the significance of connections and hybrid histories to understand gendered state practices.
Through a case study of state performance in Kashmir, the paper traces the hybrid masculinist legacies (colonial,
Brahminical and Kshatriya) derived from both Western and non-Western histories.
