Algorithmic security vision: Diagrams of computer vision politics
More than ever before, security systems are using machine learning algorithms to process images and video feeds, in applications as diverse as facial recognition at the border, movement recognition in urban security settings, or emotion recognition in judicial proceedings. What is at stake in the technical and political transformations brought about by these sociotechnical developments? This article charts the development of a novel set of practi…
An Invitation to Multimodal International Research
This article introduces the new PARISS running theme, “Multimodal International Research,” which advocates for integrating aesthetic practices—such as filmmaking, photography, sound, and performance—into the study of international politics. While International Relations (IR) scholarship has increasingly engaged with visual culture, it remains dominated by textual and numeric methods that often fail to capture non-propositional, embodied, and affe…
Mapping as a Critical Making Practice in International Relations
How “critical” is mapping as a method in international relations (IR)? Critical approaches have fundamentally changed the practices of mapmaking in IR. They have replaced geopolitical representations of a world divided into territorial states with notions of fields, networks, flows, rhizomes, and assemblages. This shift is both conceptual and methodological: It has led to the introduction of new methods of representation, such as multiple corresp…
Counter-radicalization, Islam and Laïcité: Policed multiculturalism in France’s Banlieues
What is the impact of counter-radicalization policies on minority membership in France? Probably more than any country in Europe, in France, the question of terrorism and radicalization has been inseparable from that of the accommodation of the Muslim minority – a debate structured around the French interpretation of universalist secularism, or laïcité. Laïcité is presented as both a principle of terrorism prevention and an ideal to safeguard. Av…
Toward a Critique of Algorithmic Violence
Questions about how algorithms contribute to (in)security are under discussion across international political sociology. Building upon and adding to these debates, our collective discussion foregrounds questions about algorithmic violence. We argue that it is important to examine how algorithmic systems feed (into) specific forms of violence, and how they justify violent actions or redefine what forms of violence are deemed legitimate. Bringing t…
From Consensus to Diffraction: On Generative Frictions in Mapping Computer Vision Technologies in the Field of Security
How does one map and visualise the complex arrangements of computer vision technologies used in the field of security in a collaborative setting where the research participants come from different scholarly traditions? This paper is an account of how we have attempted to tackle this question, and in the process of doing so, had to overcome challenges linked to the very meaning of collaboration. In a context in which epistemological and ontologica…
La lutte contre la « radicalisation ». Genèse et expansion d’un nouveau lieu commun administratif en France et dans l’Union européenne
Comment etudier l’institutionnalisation d’un espace europeen de liberte, de securite et de justice ? L’option la plus immediate consiste sans doute a retracer la genese d’institutions specifiques (comme Europol ou Eurojust) ou celle de procedures communes (le mandat d’arret europeen par exemple) et, le cas echeant, a s’interroger sur leurs effets sur les droits penaux, ainsi que sur le travail des forces de l’ordre et des magistrats des Etats mem…
Countering terrorism and radicalisation: Securitising social policy
While social and security policies have always overlapped in complex ways, recent developments in counter-terrorism policy suggest that Western European states, and the United Kingdom more specifically, are accelerating what can be termed the ‘securitisation of social policy’ 1 – namely, the increased submission of social policy actors and their practices to the logics of security and social control. With the PREVENT programme remaining highly co…
Frontiers of fear – immigration and insecurity in the United States and Europe
Ariane Chebel d'Appollonia's Frontiers of Fear is an ambitious exercise in conceptual and theoretical translation, in at least two ways. It is, first, an attempt to introduce concepts and theories
The Paris attacks: Magical Thinking & Hijacking Trust
The problem is legitimateThe recent attacks in Paris have highlighted three key issues Europe faces currently.The most obvious one, of course, is the issue of political violence.Although the official figures national governments provide each year to Europol do not place the category of "religiously inspired" on top of the list of attacks, convictions or acquittals (Irish, Corsican and Basque separatists are still ahead) and the total number of at…
La lutte contre la radicalisation ou deux formes de la pensée magique
Les attentats qui ont touché les villes occidentales au cours des douze dernières années (Madrid, Londres, Oslo, Boston, Toulouse, Bruxelles, Copenhague et maintenant Paris) nous effraient d'autant plus que leurs auteur.e.s ne viennent pas de l'étranger mais sont issu.e.s de nos propres sociétés. À cette peur s'en ajoute une autre pour un nombre croissant de parents, qui craignent que leur fils ou leur fille ne disparaisse un jour pour réapparaît…
Low-tech security: Files, notes, and memos as technologies of anticipation
When it comes to anticipating terrorism, do recent technological advancements fundamentally change the modus operandi of intelligence services? Recent scholarship has focused on the new modes of reasoning brought about by ‘hi-tech’ forms analysis such as data mining, graph visualization and the algorithmic treatment of big data. While this article recognizes the increasing influence of these techniques, it argues they should not overshadow much m…

The National Security Strategy of the USA’ ou la rencontre improbable de Grotius, Carl Schmitt et Philip K. Dick
L’oeuvre de Philip K. Dick a consisté avant tout à imaginer et à mettre en scène, à partir de données du présent, la possibilité de différents mondes sociaux. La croyance aveugle de l’Homme en une science humaine prédictive, les enjeux de pouvoir liés à la connaissance, l’idée que la « réalité » puisse être un construit – et un construit manipulable – sont autant de problèmes que l’auteur de Rapport Minoritaire partage sans le savoir avec les déb…
