Making a bold intervention into critical security studies
literature, this book explores the ontological relationship between
mortality and security. It considers the mortality theories of
Heidegger and Bauman alongside literature from the sociology of
death, before undertaking a comparative exploration of the
memorialisation of four prominent post-terrorist sites: the World
Trade Centre in New York, the Bali bombsite, the London bombings
and the Norwegian sites attacked by Anders Breivik. By interviewing
the architects and designers of these reconstruction projects, the
book shows that practices of memorialisation are a retrospective
security endeavour - they conceal and re-narrate the traumatic
incursion of death. Disaster recovery is replete with security
practices that return mortality to its sublimated position and
remove the disruption posed by mortality to political authority.
The book will be of significant interest to academics and
postgraduates working in the fields of critical security studies,
memory studies and international politics. -- .
