The agency of liminality: army wives in the DR Congo and the tactical reversal of militarization
The inherently unstable boundaries between military and civilian worlds have emerged as a main object of study within the field of critical military studies. This article sheds light on the (re)production of these boundaries by attending to a group that rarely features in the debates on the military/civilian divide: army wives in a ânon-Northernâ context, more specifically the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Drawing upon the âanalytical toolboxâ of governmentality, we explore how civilian and military positionalities are called upon, articulated and subverted in the governing and self-governing of Congolese army wives. We show the decisive importance of these wivesâ civilian-military âin betweennessâ both in efforts to govern them and in their exercise of agency, in particular
The inherently unstable boundaries between military and civilian worlds have emerged as a main object of study within the field of critical military studies. This article sheds light on the (re)production of these boundaries by attending to a group that rarely features in the debates on the military/civilian divide: army wives in a ânon-Northernâ context, more specifically the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Drawing upon the âanalytical toolboxâ of governmentality, we explore how civilian and military positionalities are called upon, articulated, and subverted in the governing and self-governing of Congolese army wives. We show the decisive importance of these wivesâ civilianâmilitary âin-betweennessâ both in efforts to govern them and in their exercise of agency, in particular the ways in which they âtactically reverseâ militarization. The article also demonstrates the dispersed nature of the governing arrangements surrounding army wives, highlighting the vital role of âthe civilianâ as well as the âagency of those being militarizedâ within processes of militarization. By foregrounding the relevance of studying Congolese army wives and their militarization with an analytical toolbox often reserved for so called âadvanced militaries/societiesâ, and by revealing numerous similarities between the Congolese and âNorthernâ contexts, the article also sets out to counter the Euro/US-centrism and âtheoretical discriminationâ that mark present-day (critical) military studies
Observations sur la langue dans les lettres adressĂ©es a Ć . LjubiÄ
