Northern Ireland and the politics of boredom
Conflict, capital and culture
by George Legg
In Northern Ireland and the Politics of Boredom, however, I offer a radically different perspective. Adopting a stimulating interdisciplinary approach, I plumb the depths of this so called 'capitalist peace'. I propose that an intertwining of capitalist ideologies with military, urban, political, and touristic attempts at conflict resolution, from the 1960s onwards, has ingrained a fractious 'politics of boredom' throughout contemporary Northern Ireland. Moving boredom away from its singular and internalised rendering in the philosophies of Martin Heidegger and Søren Kierkegaard, the 'politics of boredom' I advance develops discourses of banality that underpin post-Marxist theory from Guy Debord to McKenzie Wark. Cast in this light, I argue that boredom can teach us the ways in which capitalism creates an all pervasive atmosphere constraining collective thought and action.
