Contesting Torture
A tale of two currencies
This article investigates a ‘tale of two currencies’ that played out during the 2014 Scottish Independence Referendum. Taking our cue from securitisation literature, we examine what happens when currency is framed as a security issue and threat. Studying this case, however, we find that the Copenhagen School underestimate the ability of actors to perform (de)securitising moves within interactive games about financial security. In such instances, …
Critical Security History
This article makes a case for incorporating the concept of ‘Critical Security History’ (CSH) into security studies. While history plays a powerful role in a cornucopia of security stories, we contend that it often goes unnoticed in scholarly research and teaching. Against this backdrop, we present a detailed guide to study how history is told and enacted in non-linear ways. To do this, the article outlines how CSH can contribute to securitisation…
In the name of (de)securitization
This article examines how the protection of migrants, refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) is spoken about and framed. Today it is evident that the dominant responses of sovereign States to each of these groups is heavily reliant on the language of security and (de)securitization, and this article openly conceptualizes ongoing attempts to protect migrants, refugees and IDPs as a series of overlapping (de)securitized “games”. At least …
Drowning the Greek economy
Drawing on Judith Butler's concept of injurious speech, this article conceptualises the 'Grexit' crisis as a series of performances. More specifically, we investigate how the Greek government framed the bailout plans tabled by the Troika as a form of torture. By adopting phrases such as 'fiscal water-boarding', 'asphyxiation', and 'suicide', the Syriza government sought to narrate the harm inflicted on Greece by its creditors. Paying attention to…
The Queen’s speech
This article adopts the Copenhagen School’s concept of desecuritization to analyse the gestures of reconciliation undertaken during the 2011 state visit of Queen Elizabeth II to the Republic of Ireland, including her willingness to speak in Gaeilge at Dublin Castle. In the process, it opens new pathways to explore if, when and how desecuritizing moves can become possible. To respond to these questions, this article advances the concept of bilingu…
Securitization and the Iraq War
This book critiques the conceptualization of security found in mainstream and critical theoretical debates, and applies this to the empirical case of the 2003 Iraq War. The Iraq War represents one of the most puzzling, complex, and controversial events in the post-Cold War era. The manner in which the Bush administration finally decided to hold Saddam Hussein accountable through military intervention provoked a worldwide outcry due to the narrati…
Luddites Past and Present
THE WORDS LUDDITE and Luddism are widely used in labour conflicts, especially those involving technological innovation, to categorize one of the contending parties. Perhaps it is to a recognition of the revolutionary implica tions of computer and robotic industrial applications that a term from the classic period of the British Industrial Revolution owes at least part of its contemporary relevance. Unfortunately the use of the words Luddite and L…
A Possible Source for Nathan Hale's Dying Words
T SHE words attributed to Nathan Hale, the martyr-spy of the War of Independence, have been an inspiration to generations of Americans. They appear both in dictionaries of quotations and in American history textbooks.1 Yet the source for this patriot's gallows assertion is still a matter for speculation. Setting aside the possibility that Hale's predicament prompted an entirely original turn of phrase, scholars have sought a literary precedent. A…
The battle over Eckville
In April 1983 Canadians were shocked to learn of a politically active school teacher in Alberta who taught his students an antisemitic view of history. The teacher was dismissed but he had expressed antisemitic views in the classroom for years
Blackmail, boycott and genocide
This article examines the mis‐use of language that is often encountered in conflict situations involving ethnic and national groups. The various abuses of the words ‘Blackmail’, ‘Boycott’, and ‘Genocide’ are examined in the context of a number of recent conflicts. It is pointed out that the protagonists in such disputes frequently alter the meaning of words in an effort to make a special plea for their position. The author further warns of the se…

Sheffield and the English Revolutionary Tradition, 1791–1820
Was there a secret revolutionary movement in England during the early Industrial Revolution and, if there was such a movement, must we accept that its existence would be “unprovable”? Should we agree with a recent writer that no conclusions can be reached on such questions, the existing historical sources being so ambiguous as to allow the historian to impress his own prejudices on them?. We believe that a rigorous study of the historical evidenc…
