The emergence of a security discipline in the post 9-11 discourse of U.S. security organisations
This paper explores two views of the changes that have occurred in the U.S. security services as a result of their post 9/11 reform. The first is Bigo’s suggestion that agencies worldwide have become enmeshed in shared activity so as to constitute a new ‘field of (in)security’. A second, novel perspective is that the security services have developed many of the characteristics of a discipline or ‘discursive formation’, constructing intelligence b…
Arguments for exception in US security discourse
In his influential State of Exception, Giorgio Agamben proposes that, even in apparently liberal western democracies, the state will routinely use the contingency of national emergency to suspend civil liberties and justify expansion of military and police powers. We investigated rhetorical strategies deployed in the web pages of US security agencies, created or reformed in the aftermath of the 9/11 events, to determine whether they present argum…
The discourse of Olympic security
This article uses a combination of critical discourse analysis (CDA) and corpus linguistics (CL) to investigate the discursive realization of the security operation for the London 2012 Olympic Games. Drawing on Didier Bigo’s (2008) conceptualization of the ‘ban-opticon’, it addresses two questions: (1) What distinctive linguistic features are used in documents relating to security for London 2012? (2) How is Olympic security realized as a discurs…
Citizenship, community, and counter-terrorism
This paper analyses a corpus of UK policy documents which sets out national security policy as an exemplar of the contemporary discourse of counter-terrorism in Europe, the USA and worldwide. A corpus of 148 documents (c. 2.8 million words) was assembled to reflect the security discourse produced by the UK government before and after the 7/7 attacks on the London Transport system. To enable a chronological comparison, the two sub-corpora were def…
Translation from Chinese
En étudiant trois différentes traductions anglaises d'un paragraphe d'un texte chinois, on discute de la difficulté pour les traducteurs de fournir un texte qui soit cohérent pour le lecteur et en même temps fidèle au message de l'auteur. On identifie certaines compétences culturelles que les traducteurs présupposent chez leurs lecteurs pour produire un texte à la fois fidèle et cohérent
