| Video Discription | Chair: Dr Amanda Chisholm, Senior Lecturer in Security Studies / Researcher in Gender and Security Speaker: Dr Mark Condos, Historian interested in the intersections between violence, race, and law within the British and French empires Discussant: Dr Alastair McClure, Historian of modern South Asia and the British Empire Giorgio Agamben has described the First World War and its immediate aftermath as a crucial turning point in the history of ‘states of exception’. However, Agamben’s now axiomatic formulation of the state of exception is problematic when we consider the colonial world. As various scholars have pointed out, Agamben’s framework is inherently Eurocentric and fails to take into account how racial difference rendered colonial rule an inherently authoritarian and anti-democratic enterprise from the outset. The blurring of executive, legislative, and judicial powers that Agamben identifies with the state of exception were, in fact, integral, systemic features of colonial power. Using British India as a case study, the paper discussed in this seminar seeks to re-orient our understanding of states of emergency away from the framework of the exception in order to consider how they may be more usefully considered as general techniques of colonial power. In so doing, it argues that rather than representing a point of rupture or change, the First World War simply offered an opportunity for the British colonial state to draw upon and expand an already extensive repertoire of coercive executive and legal practices that had been central to colonial control since the early nineteenth century. |
