Abstract
Violence, and researching violence, are emotional, for all concerned – typically, if not always, engendering negative emotions. Being aware of emotions, and attending to that, as both embodied experience and topic focus, are part and parcel of researching violence. To make emotions invisible is to denigrate certain kinds of experience, to be less scientific. And emotions are, to repeat the obvious, embodied. What could be more simultaneously material and discursive than violence? – hence the need for material-discursive approaches in researching violence. Indeed, taking emotions seriously is part of the project of bridging and transcending
instrumentality and emotionality, and other binaries, as foregrounded in feminist and other critical engagements.
