"Constructing the Ballast: An Ontology for Feminism" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the American Political Science Association, Hyatt Regency Chicago and the Sheraton Chicago Hotel and Towers, Chicago, IL, Aug 30, 2007 <Not Available>. 2009-11-25 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p211688_index.html>Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript
Abstract: This paper argues that the linguistic constructionism that has dominated feminist and critical theory in the last several decades is no longer viable. I explore an alternative approach, alternatively labelled the "new materialism," intra-actionism, interactionism, or agentic realism. The premise of this approach is that neither the linguistic nor the material takes precedence in the construction of knowledge but, rather, that they intra-act in a complex "mangle" (Pickering's term). The advantage of this approach, particularly for feminism, is that it brings the material and the ontological back into the theoretical picture. |

"Interpenetration, Mediation and the Shaping of Ontological Spheres" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the International Communication Association, TBA, San Francisco, CA, <Not Available>. 2009-11-25 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p170618_index.html>Publication Type: Session Paper
Abstract: Based on Muench’s and Habermas’ notion of interpenetration of ‘life world’ and ‘system,’ this paper will make an attempt to unfold the theoretical debate about ‘mediation’ as a new discoursive sphere. In this sense, ‘mediation’ and ‘mediatization’ processes structure communicative schemes which not only transform conventional terminologies of ‘media’ and ‘audiences’ but define ‘ontological’ spheres in a globalized communicative space.
The paper will discuss models of ‘ontological’ spheres and relate these to current debates in global communication. |

"Creating (In)Security from Within: The Ontological Purpose of Alliances" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the International Studies Association, Town & Country Resort and Convention Center, San Diego, California, USA, Mar 22, 2006 <Not Available>. 2009-11-25 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p98817_index.html>Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript
Abstract: This paper revisits the reasons behind the emergence and demise of security communities from the perspective of ontological security. Building on research emphasizing ideational factors to explain states? decisions in security policy, it specifically suggests that the cohesion of alliances, in particular the agreement on a common threat, is better understood by looking at alliance-internal dynamics of identity construction rather than events in the external environment. Doing so, the paper first outlines how the role of ?friends? in creating security is generally neglected by both utilitarian and constructivist arguments due to their focus on either the external adversary (realism) or the internally constructed ?Other? (constructivism). It then expands the constructivist approach by arguing that decisions to enter alliances and, thus, to cooperate in the realm of security policy is driven by the individual states? desire for status, expressed in desires for belonging and recognition. It further suggests that security communities are undermined when normative shifts occur among members, which create a ?misfit? between domestic and collective ideas of order and force the individual state to either adapt or exit the cooperative agreement. The final part of the paper outlines how such a perspective can be usefully applied to the German-American security relationship since the end of the Second World War. |
