The Thesis Sample Clauses

The Thesis. This thesis offers a deep and comprehensive analysis of Sri Lanka’s contemporary conflict dynamics, providing an account of the country’s competing nation-building processes and attendant political violence – both state-orchestrated and Tamil - that is both historical and empirically informed. It departs from mainstream conceptions of ethno-political conflict (Imityaz and Xxxxxx, 2008), politico-economic conflict (Bandarage, 2009), and Tamil separatist terrorism (Van de Voorde, 2005), arguing that contemporary Sri Lankan nation-building, particularly since the End, is premised on the establishment of a national security state. I engage themes of language, power and nationalistic performativity to explore political discourse, state terror and state-corporate collusion, and the authorship of a ‘national story’ for the project of nation-building. In particular, I ask how discourse has been weaponised. How has discourse been used in a violent and exclusionary process of nation-building? The incorporation of Sinhala-Buddhist ideology as an exclusionary nationalism into processes of nation-building, I argue, is clear at the level of discourse and in political performativity. A post-war analysis of triumphant and antagonistic processes of ‘Sinhalisation’ in the nascent Tamil Eelam demonstrates Sri Lanka’s rejection of liberal conceptions of peace-building and reconciliation, and reveals the state’s post-conflict actions and rhetoric in this regard as strategic performances, designed to avoid accountability and international censure. The title of this thesis – “Without ‘Our Undisciplined Army’” – is a quotation from an interview with a senior Tamil bureaucrat in Jaffna in 2012. It reflects the popular sentiment I encountered in the population towards the LTTE: a loyalty and avowed support that recognises the failings of the militant group and the atrocities committed in pursuit of Eelam. In the war-torn North Eastern Province, faith in the separatist movement and the achievement of Eelam maintained the popularity and deification of the LTTE, despite the organisation’s brutal methods of governance. ‘The boys’, as the members of the LTTE are popularly known (despite the influx of women to the ranks), were “ours” – they acted on behalf of the Tamil population, in their interests, and as the only protection against a persecutory Sinhala state. The organisation’s infilitraton into Tamil communal life was a deliberate strategy (Thiranagama, 2011). An historical examinat...
