Resumo

Starting from the ambivalence and contradiction of social categories at the margins, this introduction points out the potential of a perspective from and on the margins for a Critical Anthropology of Security. We conceptualize security from the margins as discourses and practices concerned with the social reproduction of marginalized actors, and security concepts and strategies used to negotiate, and establish notions of a 'good life.' Security from the margins is characterized by the positionality, temporality, and (in)visibility of marginalized actors and security practices, which, taken seriously, illustrate the diversity of specific threats, practices, and concepts involved in increasingly complex (in)security situations. Marginalized security practices not only aim to minimize negative security risks but generate positive options that secure living conditions at the margins.
