Sharp, J. Subaltern geopolitics: introduction
Inspired by postcolonial, feminist and anti?geopolitical interventions, this special issue brings together papers which present subalte imaginaries that offer creative alteatives to the dominant (critical) geopolitical scripts. The concept of subalte makes direct reference to postcolonial notions of power relations, suggesting a position that is not completely other, resistant or alteative to dominant geopolitics, but an ambiguous position of marginality as the term is used by bell hooks (1990). The papers collected together here focus on the various practices engaged with by people who have been marginalised by dominant geopolitics. The practices, whether strategies of survival or getting on with everyday life in Palestine, newspaper publication in Tanzania, or practices of peace?building in the Philippines or Colombia, are all ways of reworking dominant geopolitics not simply through critique, but through offering up lived alteatives. Thus, the notion of subalte geopolitics used here both looks past the binary vision of geopolitical reasoning and much critical engagement with it, and also seeks to go beyond the endlessly critical nature of critical geopolitics, to offer alteative ways of imagining and doing geopolitics.
