ABSTRACT
The last three chapters have been written in a narrative form, drawing from the forms of representation that are characteristic of new ethnography, which are also familiar in many feminist IR texts. Employing the narrative method is a matter of using plurality of expressions, including personal and “fictive” narratives and also poetry. The point is to etch away at the binary oppositions constructive of logico-scientific methods of writing. Writing in a way that makes use of different narratives, voices and speaking positions is a way to tackle the exclusionary practices of modern epistemology that silences voices and expressions that do not fit into logico-scientific representation. Choosing an alternative form of writing arises from the acknowledgment of the power involved in the construction of what counts as science and, moreover, from the acknowledgement of the inherent masculinism of these practices.
