Imagining people, targeting phones
This article engages with the mobile phone as a locus of military practice and resistance by examining the use of mobile phones as tactical targets in war. Our analysis adds to the International Relations (IR) and security studies literature that has investigated the mobile phone by mobilising Paul Virilio’s thinking around prosthetic technologies and obedient resistance. In this way, we offer an account of how the mobile phone enables political …
Digital im/materiality and the securitisation of cyber
This article conducts a theoretical exploration of how the materiality of ‘the digital’, and, more specifically, the immaterial nature of ‘the digital’, imposes on the securitisation of cyber. Starting from the observation that the implementation of new, draconian cybersecurity policy – illustrated with the Norwegian bulk interception controversy – is legitimised with reference to the immateriality of digital threats and digital transformations, …
Inscribing security
‘Visual turn’ scholarship in International Relations (IR) acknowledges the importance of new information and communication technology for the production and circulation of images but lacks sustained engagement with the technologies themselves and how they interact with humans in the visual production of security. This article brings the visual turn into conversation with Science and Technology Studies (STS) and mobilises Latour and Woolgar’s noti…
Liberty, Security, Digital
I Flip, Therefore I Am
This article theorizes smartphone detoxing as a practice of sovereignty. The article begins by arguing that the smartphone enables the exercise of psychopolitical control, a new mode of neoliberal governmentality under which individuals are governed through the algorithmic modification of behavior. Against this background, smartphone detoxing can be seen as a practice of sovereignty in the sense that it aims to recover the subject's autonomy and …
Covid-19 contact-tracing apps and the public/private co-production of security
This article examines how the smartphone contributes to the co-production of security through an analysis of Covid-19 contact-tracing apps. Building on existing research in security studies that mobilizes the science and technology concept of co-production, the article proposes the notion of ‘appropriation’ as a concrete way of extending our understanding of the public/private co-production of security. Appropriation highlights how consumer techn…
Conceptualising the smartphone as a security device
This article contributes to our understanding of security devices by engaging with the distinctiveness of one particular and especially important device: the smartphone. Drawing from Barad’s understanding of posthumanist performativity and turning to the smartphone literature outside of security studies, it develops a conceptual account of the smartphone as a security device. The article suggests that the smartphone stands out from other comparab…
Om fiksjon og virkelighet – «Okkupert» som naturaliserende for norske Russland-representasjoner
I møte med kritikk fra blant andre den russiske ambassaden i Oslo hevdet TV-serien «Okkupert»s kreative skaper, Jo Nesbø, at serien ikke kan påvirke norsk-russiske relasjoner fordi den er fiktiv. Bak denne påstanden ligger en interessant vitenskapsfilosofisk antagelse om at fiksjon og virkelighet er av forskjellig ontologisk kvalitet og dermed helt løsrevet fra hverandre. Denne artikkelen vil utfordre Nesbøs påstand og antagelsen han gjør idet de…
