 ool and Nay El Rahi \n\nDescription: \nWe will be discussing a draft paper
  by Dr. Zoë Wool, titled 'Pathologies of Mourning: The Violence of the Hu
 man and the Division of the Grievable.' This is a chapter from Dr. Wool's 
 current book manuscript titled, The Significance of Others: Intimacy, Di
 sability, and the Violences of US Warmaking. The  discussant for Dr. Wool
 's paper will be Nay El Rahi.Abstract: Drawing on ethnographic work with d
 isabled US veterans, US military manuals, and a broader archive of US di
 scourse on Arab grief (in which Palestine serves as a kind of meta-signifi
 er), this chapter examines grief as a site of both exclusion and normativ
 ity in the context of US post-9/11 warmaking in Iraq. Beyond the exclusion
  of “ungreivable” lives from recognition, I trace how grief operates as a
  normative domain which privileges particular affective alignments and gen
 res of gender, kinship, and intimacy while pathologizing others. While s
 trong theories of grief (including in anthropology) frame grief as a unive
 rsal human condition capable of transcending such exclusions, this chapte
 r argues that, in practice, grief has often functioned to reproduce thre
 sholds of intimacy anchored in the white-coded nuclear family, shaping wh
 ose grief is legible, whose is suspect, and who is excluded from the cat
 egory of the human.   \n\nCategories \n SCL Discussion Series \n\nAudience
