Militarism, Psychiatry and Social Impunity in Kashmir

2023-05-25

Public health systems, medical professionals and patients alike in Kashmir have been subjected to a range of harms – from direct, physical assaults to more insidious fears and anxieties – as a result of militarization and state violence. In this chapter, I interrogate the limits of the human rights and humanitarian concept of “medical neutrality” by showing how it brings to light only certain kinds of violence and harm. I develop the concept of social impunity to show how Kashmiris themselves theorize a broader sense of dysfunction, disorder and harm in the public health system that were tied to the politics of Indian state occupation. This example shows how impunity is not merely restricted to the realm of law but was felt as permeating all aspects of social life, including medicine.

Troubling complicities

Hau Journal of Ethnographic Theory · 2023-09-01 · 5 citations

This creative article seeks to trouble dominant modes of how anthropologists position themselves as moral subjects and grapple with their complicity with/in empire today: what we call “bearing witness” and “denunciation/confession.” In contrast to these models, we perform and theorize our own complicities by staying with the multiple social, relational, political, and epistemological entanglements that our fieldwork produces. Through a braided dialogue, we demonstrate the multiple responsibilities and relationalities that come with the positions we occupy as subjects, researchers, and narrators of empire. We define complicity as an active, transitive engagement with others as we are situated in multiple structures of power. Theorizing complicity helps us reveal what relations of knowledge and power we are responsible for making visible and how we can analytically respond to them. By pluralizing complicity, our aim is to stimulate much needed conversation on questions of anthropology’s relation to tentacles of empire.
