War misguidance
This article argues that the US War in Afghanistan, given its status as a Long War, must contend with a specific visual form that threatens to disclose that the war is an irreversible failure: the ‘visual quagmire’. A visual quagmire is a visualization of a nation’s catastrophic, self-inflicted entanglement in war. In ‘Cluster fuck: The forcible frame in Errol Morris’s Standard Operating Procedure’ (2010), Linda Williams argues that the ‘cluster …
Fusing Race
This paper sets up a framework to assess how purportedly passive state surveillance comprises an infrastructure of active racialization. Frantz Fanon’s concept of “racial phobogenics,” or the process of making a raced body into an object of anxiety, can be useful for scholarship at the intersection of communication, race, data, security, policing, affect, and biopolitics. To read how local state surveillance justifies the aggregation of data by m…
Security stupidity
This essay proposes that securitization is underwritten by stupidity, defined as a shared social exposure to limits which condition the possibility of thinking, knowing, and communicating about threats and responses. This conceptualization of stupidity depicts security threats not as gaps in information that can be filled by a knowing subject, but encounters with difference arising from persons, communities, or nations which threaten that subject…

I argue that feeling for the state throughout the training legitimizes expanded …
