Studying Archives of non-state Armed Actors: Methodological challenges and new research avenues
The aim of this special issue is to reflect upon these methodological and ethical implications while at the same time demonstrating the scholarly value of archives produced by non-state armed actors and their potential to open up new research avenues. We especially welcome the following types of contributions:
- Cases-studies that explore existing archives of non-state armed actors produced during times of (internal) armed conflict or political violence and reflect upon both the related opportunities and challenges for research
- Case-studies that explore the ‘making-of’ archives of non-state armed actors, including processes of data collection and preservation, and reflect upon both the related opportunities and challenges for research
- Contributions that take archives of non-state armed actors as a starting point to reflect upon the relation between archival research and ethnography in conflict studies
- Contributions that take archives of non-state armed actors as a starting point to reflect upon alternative forms of ‘state-making’ and governance during conflict
- Contributions that consider existing archives or processes of archive-building from underrepresented voices within non-state armed groups (e.g. women, LGBTQI+ persons, indigenous peoples)
If you are interested in contributing to this special issue, please send a 500-word abstract and short bio to Eva Willems ([email protected]) and
Bert Suykens ([email protected]) by December 1st.
