Short Abstract
The aim of this panel is to examine ethnographic research on spaces of
security, take stock, and prepare for a future in which anthropologists
will explore shifting contexts and the production of evidence therein -
the near-future of security and insecurity.
Long Abstract
Today, security discourses and practices are flourishing, transforming
policies, institutions and everyday lives throughout the world. This
panel is to bring greater theoretical precision to the growing body of
anthropological scholarship on security. We will examine ethnographic
research on spaces of security, take stock, and prepare for a future in
which anthropologists will explore shifting contexts and the production
of evidence therein - the near-future of (in)security. The panel seeks
papers at two levels. Firstly, we aim to chart the multiple ways that
(in)security manifests itself, looking for commonalities and
differences, and arriving at a theoretical statement on anthropology's
contributions to the study of security. Secondly, we aim to show the
potential that exists among anthropologists to conceptually inform
international debates and ethnographically illuminate the ramifications
of (in)securitisation today. Anthropologists have engaged with everyday
insecurities ethnographically, together with the often-violent intrusion
of (para-)military forces, policing, surveillance and governmental
control in the lives of research participants. Anthropologists are now
attending to the proliferation of post-Cold War security practices and
discourses, new techno-science and forms of expertise. This panel will
offer a broad anthropological theorisation of security together with a
rigorous focus on the spatial dimensions of contemporary
(in)securitisation. We are also interested in power and its spatial
dimensions, together with the local and transnational asymmetries that
produce or deny agencies.
There will be a particular focus on "The legacies and futures of the
European border regime" within the broad theme of spaces of security.
