‘Words are politics. When vocabularies change, things that previously could not be said, are now spoken by everyone; while what yesterday seemed obvious, can no longer be said at all. With a change of vocabularies, new speakers become authoritative’.1 A few years ago, this is how Koskenniemi introduced his readers to an incisive critique of multidisciplinary scholarship. Koskenniemi’s emphasis on the political nature of words served a specific purpose, to warn international lawyers against the siren song of objectivity and neutrality that can be found in some schools in international relations today. However, the insight that speaking a language is a political act through which worlds are created or foreclosed transcends the specific context of current debates on multidisciplinarity. For one, it also applies to the words of Martti Koskenniemi himself.
