Phenomenology as Performative Practice (Brill), 2020

How does affect relate to time? This chapter offers a phenomenological perspective on the temporal character of affectivity. It argues that the past predominates, and that a concrete, ongoing history prevails within the embodied and embedded unfolding of affect. While affect happens in the present and instigates, pre-figures and transitions to the future, it is decisively anchored in what has been: a materially sedimented past which continues to weigh on all conceivable ways of being. With reference to Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Fanon and contemporary feminist and anti-racist phenomenologists, I outline the contours of a temporal account of affectivity that foregrounds the past. Subsequently, I relate this outlook to Christina Sharpe’s powerful conceptual metaphor ‘the Wake’, suggesting that it is not historicity as such but a particular ongoing history of violent appropriation, brutal oppression and displacement that keeps setting the tone for affective being-in-the-world in this day and age. Thereby, the present account makes tentative contact with a strand of work in Black Studies that goes by the label ‘Afro-Pessimism’.

Flight MH17, Ukraine and the new Cold War, 2018

This book is about the manipulation of public opinion by governments, and more specifically, about how the emotions evoked by a drama such as the downing of a passenger plane in the war zone of eastern Ukraine in July 2014, are being used for geopolitical and economic gain. My first concern is how Western governments, and more particularly my own government in the Netherlands, continue to exploit the disaster, in line with NATO policy of economic and ideological warfare against Russia. All governments will resort to the manipulation of public opinion, but in this case and in many others, the West has demonstrated it is the undisputed master of ceremonies. One would have hoped, perhaps naïvely, that other governments including the Russian government, might have used their knowledge of events to cut through the NATO propaganda and enlighten world public opinion on this and other matters. However, we have to accept that that is not the business of governments. They of necessity have other priorities and in fact do better to leave the field of historical enquiry to academics and journalists. What happens when governments and parliaments do involve themselves in establishing what is historical truth and what is not, can be seen when they resort to prescribing it in law. For instance, it is forbidden in several countries to deny the reality the great systematic massacres of modern times, whether or not they must be labelled 'genocides', and so on. As a result, even scholars who would not dream of denying the basic facts, would still feel constrained by the official codification of historical truth in advance, which establishes taboos instead of a basis in fact. In the case of the Dutch-led investigation of the MH17 disaster, this is illustrated by the law of 2010 governing the work of the Dutch Safety Board (DSB), the body entrusted with technical investigation of the catastrophe. That law decrees in article 57 that not all information the DSB collects will be made public, or put otherwise, its publications will not necessarily contain all it knows. Specifically, information that will harm the relations of the Netherlands with other states and international

Journal of Interpersonal Violence, 2024

While population-based research confirms that women with disabilities abused by their intimate partners experience significant mental health issues, few studies compare this in intimate partner violence (IPV)-specific samples of women with or without disabilities and none analyze possible impacts based on disability type. This secondary mixed methods analysis examined 660 Canadian women (50.6% Indigenous, 43.1% White, and 6.1% visible minority) with respect to whether they reported having a disability that impacted their employability or daily living (291 or 44% yes; 369 or 56% said no). In the 291 women with disabilities, about one-third (30.7%) had a physical disability-only, one-quarter had a mental health disability-only, and 44.1% reported both physical and mental health disabilities. Women with mental health and both physical and mental health disabilities reported significantly more Severe Combined IPV on the Composite Abuse Scale, depression (CES-D-10; Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression), psychological distress (Symptom Checklist Shortform-10; SCL-10; in the clinical range), PTSD symptoms (PTSD Checklist), and lower quality of life

A B S T R A C T. This essay surveys the wave of new literature on early modern migration and assesses its impact on the Dutch golden age. From the late sixteenth century, the Netherlands developed into an international hub of religious refugees, displaced minorities, and labour migrants. While migration to the Dutch Republic has often been studied in socioeconomic terms, recent historiography has turned the focus of attention to its many cultural resonances. More specifically, it has been noted that the arrival of thousands of newcomers generated the construction of new patriotic narratives and cultural codes in Dutch society. The experience of civil war and forced migration during the Dutch revolt had already fostered the development of a national discourse that framed religious exile as a heroic experience. In the seventeenth century, the accommodation of persecuted minorities could therefore be presented as something typically 'Dutch'. It followed that diaspora identities and signs of transnational religious solidarity developed into markers of social respectability and tools of cultural integration. The notion of a 'republic of the refugees' had profound international implications, too, because it shaped and justified Dutch interventions abroad.
