| Summary: | This essay takes up Jasbir Puar's convincing contention that scholars who work to prevent some forms of violence render other forms of violence (against differently racialised, gendered, sexed, and class- and nation-marked populations) more likely. Complicity with the militarism, securitisation and secularism that make up the 'strategies, and logistics of our contemporary war machines', as Jasbir Puar describes it (2007. Terrorist assemblages: homonationalism in queer times. Durham, NC: Duke University Press), is not a new issue within religious studies. However, Puar's methodological turn to 'assemblages' over 'identities' may help scholars create analyses not as subject to instrumentalisation within such sectors. Despite these strengths, Puar's conception of fundamentalism and its relationship to what she calls 'queer secularity' requires rethinking. |
