Towards a critical anthropology of freedom?
Ruben Andersson and Dace Dzenovska have written a provocative article about security “protectionism,” which, they argue, is a new paradigm sweeping through contemporary politics. Like Frédéric Gros (2014) a decade ago, they declare that ours is the age of security. The ethnographic evidence supporting their claim is a linear biographical description of the shift from neoliberalism to security in Sweden and Latvia. Elsewhere, they attach the “prot…

Security Inside Out
Anticipation, Social Theory, and the Stories We Tell Ourselves
This paper is about how the future is conceived and perceived in military policy circles. The recent proliferation of terms used to articulate the likely features of future warfare—“hybrid,” “unconventional,” and especially “deep” wars—suggests that far from witnessing a coherent military readjustment to future threats, we are instead seeing linguistic, largely bureaucratic efforts to think about the near future, and how we should respond today, …
Enabling Multiple Voices in the Museum
Within the recently launched SPICE project, citizen curation methods and tools are being co-designed through five museum case studies in Finland, Ireland, Spain, Italy and Israel. In each case study a museum is working with partner groups and organisations to introduce tools and methods that support citizen curation for visitor groups that tend to be underrepresented in cultural engagement, including people living with disability, older people, a…
The Associations Between Access to Recreational Facilities and Adherence to the American Heart Association's Physical Activity Guidelines in US Adults
Physical activity decreases the risk of long-term health consequences including cardiac diseases. According to the American Health Association (AHA), adults should perform at least 75 min of vigorous physical activity (PA) or 150 min of moderate PA per week to impact long-term health. Results of previous studies are varied and have yet to integrate perceived access to facilities with AHA PA guidelines. We investigated whether access to free or lo…
Spaces of Security
This volume represents the efforts of anthropologists and others to explore to spaces of security. Today, security is one of the most prominent topics in anthropology. Spatial metaphors and images saturate research on security, yet anthropology has not developed a coherent approach to this important dimension of security. This volume draws together ethnographic research on spaces of security from different regions and scales, range from blast-pro…
Getting Through Security
Getting Through Security offers an unprecedented look behind the scenes of global security structures. The authors unveil the “secret colleges” of counterterrorism, a world haunted by the knowledge that intelligence will fail, and Leviathan will not arrive quickly enough to save everyone. Based on extensive interviews with both special forces and other security operators who seek to protect the public, and survivors of terrorist attacks, Getting …
Public space during Covid-19
When the public square is closed, all that remains is the tower and its shadow. As anthropologists of space and security, we watched as COVID-19 emptied our streets. The shadow fell on distant friends, then on close family; we also used the chilling language of 'common sense' to instruct others in these exceptional times. There is a lot wrong in wishing for a return to normality if 'normal' is oppression, but anger at injustice does not excuse in…

Sensing evil
New counterterrorism systems are spreading throughout the world. Many are based on behavior detection by skilled officers; others deploy techno-scientific theories and soft ware-mediated environments. All of these systems raise critical questions about scientific and legal evidence; profiling, costs, and effectiveness. However, much of the recent scholarship on this topic is based on secondhand information and fails to attend to key transformatio…
Ontological (in)Security and African Pentecostalism in Ireland
The last number of years has seen the mushrooming of African Pentecostal churches, especially Prosperity Gospel churches, in the post-recession industrial landscapes of Ireland. This article aims to explore the growth of African Pentecostalism in Ireland from both the perspective of embodied and affective religious experience and the conditions for the possibility of those religious experiences. This article is based on several years of ethnograp…

Anthropology through Levinas
An anthropological commonplace since Evans-Pritchard has been that ethnographic subjects will have their rationality circumscribed by the discursive opportunities made available by a "culture." Hence, social science comes to terms with the "internal" nature of judgements (Winch). Ultimately, the relativist nature of both Winch's and Evans-Pritchard's conclusion has its source in Wittgenstein's philosophy. For Wittgenstein, "the limits of my langu…

Neoliberalism, securitization and racialization in the Irish taxi industry
The Irish taxi industry was deregulated in 2000 during an era of neoliberal reform and record economic growth. Driving a taxi became a popular occupation for new immigrants, and the industry came to be associated with racial tensions. Today, the taxi industry is undergoing a process of re-regulation that includes a variety of security and identification measures. This article explores contested trends in governance, contemporary interventions tha…

Biopower, racialization and new security technology
From fingerprinting in colonial contexts to scientific racism, and from face \nrecognition pioneers to contemporary multi-modal surveillance, biometric \nsecurity has long been connected to processes of racialization. Using both \ncontemporary and historical examples, this article explores the rollout of \nbiometric security, paying especial attention to how biometrics makes use of \nand relies upon racialized configurations of population.

The birth of biometric security
We are currently witnessing a rapid rise in biometric security. Borders are apparently becoming 'smart'; passports are becoming e-passports, and when you set out on your travels your data double is already at your destination. Access to airports and even continents will increasingly be determined not by your national citizenship but by the security of your identity. Biometric security has received little anthropological attention despite historic…

Peer-led HIV prevention among gay men in London
A peer-led HIV prevention initiative, based on a diffusion of innovation model, was developed for gay men attending gyms in central London. Peer educators were recruited from people who used the gym regularly according to standard selection criteria. After initial training, peer educators agreed to talk to gay men at their gym about HIV prevention, focusing on sexual risk and steroid injecting behaviour. Outcome evaluation revealed that the peer …

Do gay men discuss HIV risk reduction with their GP
In September/October 1997, 1,004 gay men using one of five gyms in central London completed a confidential anonymous questionnaire which included items on sexual as well as steroid-related injecting behaviour and whether they had ever discussed these behaviours with friends, sexual partners or a general practitioner (GP). Nearly all the men reported having had sex with another man in the previous six months, while a quarter had had unprotected an…
