Abstract

As shadows lengthen over academe, I sit before its pillars, preoccupied by dusky images that will not materialize. The format and contents of this extended essay do not readily 'fit' into the traditional agenda of International Relations. Yet, Metamorphosis does address this agenda, but in a wholly iconoclastic manner. The style, composition and conclusions - or lack thereof - have been consciously produced to continually challenge and provoke the reader, so as to try and fracture the natural order of things, and insert the intractable subjective commitments by scholars - to various politics and beliefs - into the framework of analysis.
