Law, technology, and data-driven security: Infra -Legalities as Method Assemblage
As complex data-driven systems are increasingly used to know and govern global problems, the terrain for socio-legal studies research is rapidly changing. Both 'the social' and 'the legal' are transformed through processes of algorithmic regulation and automated decision making. In the security field, these changes are giving rise to novel global infrastructures for countering potential risks through the extraction, exchange, and analysis of vast…
Taking on the Technicalities” of International Law – Practice, Description, Critique: A Response to Fleur Johns
By laboring underneath the radar of formal law, using a diverse array of conceptual tools and working from material disregarded by mainstream legal scholarship, Fleur Johns ’ research has consistently opened up novel ways of grappling with international legal problems. The article at the focal point of this symposium continues to push the envelope of international legal studies. It sheds light on how the rise of Big Data and algorithmic decisionm…
Introduction: The politics of the list
This articles introduces the special issue on 'The Politics of the List.' We observe that lists proliferate as a technique of governance across multiple domains, including health, security, and commerce. We argue that it is important to take seriously the form and technique of the list itself and engage the knowledge practices, governance effects and ways of ordering the world that the list format enables. In other words, the special issue seeks …
The politics of security lists
The authors contributed equally to the paper The List, one of the most archaic means of written enumeration and classification, has made a forceful recurrence in the post-9/11 global security landscape. From terrorist sanctions lists and No-Fly lists to "kill-lists" for drone warfare; from the privately compiled lists of risky banking clients to the regulatory lists of untrustworthy or incompliant companies, the list seems to proliferate as a con…
Between Law and the Exception: The UN 1267 Ombudsperson as a Hybrid Model of Legal Expertise
Security measures taken in the name of the ‘war on terror’ have frequently been understood to operate through a domain of exception, defined as an extra-legal space of intervention where normal rules of juridical protection and due process are suspended. Yet whilst most analyses of the exception are critically reliant on notions of legal threshold, they are largely dismissive of the potentially productive nature of legal contestation. This articl…
Qualitative investigations of mega-sport events: Exploring individual, group-based and collective emotions in response to elite athletic success
Mega-sport events such as the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) Football World Cup and the Olympics are occasions when winning and losing create intense emotions in participants and observers. The wealth of existing theoretical and empirical material produced by social and psychological researchers on these topics might appear to reduce the potential for qualitative researchers to contribute to and even lead further researc…
Emotional foundational-ism? Critical remarks on affect and collective emotion in the phenomenological-psychoanalytic account of ethno-national identity
In this critical account of Baldacchino's broad proposal for an emotion-focused phenomenological-psychoanalytic account of ethno-national identity in his article 'The eidetic of belonging', I focus my evaluation on three central features that might, even when treated separately, advance contemporary understanding of group self-conceptions and emotion.The first is that affect (emotion or sentiment) should play a central role in understanding ethno…
Forensic patients' accounts of risk: The case for qualitative research within a sociocultural theory framework
In the literature on risk and offender rehabilitation, forensic patients' accounts of their past concerns, daily dangers and future hazards are barely visible. The risk experiences of mentally ill offenders and ambiguities surrounding what constitutes an everyday life are often not acknowledged. Instead, the lives of forensic patients are described primarily in terms of expert discourses in which assessments are made of the potential harm they po…
