Description
This panel explores the politics of (in)security by looking at practices taking place within the mundane interactions of everyday life. Covering a range of contributions from de-radicalisation to Covid-19, we interrogate how security is conceptualised by introducing new actors, spaces, and practices. In this process, we unpack the diffusion of security practices within different facets of civic life and bring to the fore the security/insecurity binary. As such, we move beyond the traditional security narratives and highlight the ‘insecurity’ embedded within security-making interventions. Through this we tease out the tension between the agents and subjects of security, the actions that create security and insecurity, and how these interactions unfold in the banality of everyday spaces.
