Feathers and Frequencies
Picking up arms against a collapsing planet
The current era of intensified militarization is exemplified by the number of inter-state armed conflicts (the highest since the end of the Second World War), increased risk of nuclear weapons use, and an unprecedented global arms trade. Simultaneously, the climate crisis results in widespread damage and biodiversity decline. Despite the socio-ecological harm of warfare and military buildup, many responses to declining climate and biodiversity co…
Gaming the City
Digital gaming has become a major global cultural industry, and many popular video games feature cityscapes. While scholars have critiqued the neoliberal and dystopian representations of urban environments, much less attention is given to how video games offer players a sense of belonging: an immersive city where they can feel at home. Game developers create affective urban worlds to attract and maintain a large player base for continuous revenue…
Do the right thing
Public vigilance campaigns and lateral surveillance programs in the USA have mobilized citizens for a broad range of security concerns: from post-9/11 perceived terrorist threats to more domestic forms of crime. Scholars have explained such efforts as an extension of state and police power, while others have shown that state surveillance reifies a broad range of historically racist and violent practices. This article brings together these explana…
“Cover Your Ass”
In the context of police violence and the proliferation of cameras, a growing body of anthropological scholarship has sought to understand the role of photography and its relationship to everyday policing. While scholarly attention has been given to how cameras can intensify a racialized visuality of crime and justify violent policing practices, this article discusses how police officers themselves understand and use cameras in their daily work. …
A legal shot? Police Gun Violence and Individual Accountability in Miami
In light of police violence and injustice, criminologists tend to focus on masculine and violent police cultures, the lack of democratic oversight and on social processes of dehumanization. Yet much less attention, however, is given to the objects commonly used in violent and lethal police encounters: guns. Drawing on long-term ethnographic fieldwork with police officers in Miami, I suggest that police officers tend to re-contextualize police gun…
Policing Amsterdam's 'Underworld
Security Provision after Regime Change
This paper discusses the way the newly formed political entities and the local militias engage in statebuilding practices during Libya's transitional period of 2011-12. Focusing on the encounters between these actors in the security field, it provides insight into the capacity and strategy of national actors to build state structures and to develop the political arrangements that they deem necessary. It does so by identifying the key actors invol…
