What is the relationship between political violence and temporality? Do spectacular acts of violence disrupt the flow of time performed within the modern nation state, and how do memorials which commemorate spaces of urban destruction deploy retroactive and proactive imagination? What forms of temporality are evident within the projects of militant organisations? And, how do the protagonists, victims and audiences of (counter-)terrorism experience and narrate their encounters temporally? This panel aims to bring together multiple themes of research into political violence and temporality – including studies of memory, psychoanalytic perspectives on traumatic disruption, enquiry into the social time experienced by members of clandestine organisations, and research on the narrative temporalities embedded within hegemonic politics and counter-hegemonic struggle. The panel is interested in the temporalities that structure and organise the practices of ‘terrorism’, counter-terrorism, war, and their study. Studies of temporality are multifaceted and extensive, but a burgeoning literature is beginning to connect the study of time to that of political violence. The panel responds to the opportunities afforded by this cross-pollination by bringing different approaches together to ask pressing questions about memorialisation, violent acts and the naturalised temporality which underwrites the politics of the nation state.
