The first special issue to read comparatively across hunger strikes that mobilize diverse and potentially discordant onto-epistemologies, political genealogies, organizational forms, performative repertoires, and affective intensities. The special issue examines both displacements and connections among resistances to captivity in prisons, colonies, and border regimes — spanning Palestinians in Israeli colonial prisons, indigenous Mapuche in Chile, Tamil insurgents in Sri Lanka, refugees in Greek camps, and Kurdish and communist prisoners in Turkey's F-type high security prisons. Together, the contributions offer a perspective at once site-specific and expansive, critical and generative — one that produces proximity between struggles chronologically and spatially distant, and redefines what constitutes a politics of the body today.
