Security is a defining characteristic of our age and the driving
force behind the management of collective political, economic, and
social life. Directed at safeguarding society against future peril,
security is often thought of as the hard infrastructures and
invisible technologies assumed to deliver it: walls, turnstiles,
CCTV cameras, digital encryption, and the like. The contributors to
Futureproof redirect this focus, showing how security is a sensory
domain shaped by affect and image as much as rules and
rationalities. They examine security as it is lived and felt in
domains as varied as real estate listings, active-shooter drills,
border crossings, landslide maps, gang graffiti, and museum
exhibits to theorize how security regimes are expressed through
aesthetic forms. Taking a global perspective with studies ranging
from Jamaica to Jakarta and Colombia to the U.S.-Mexico border,
Futureproof expands our understanding of the security practices,
infrastructures, and technologies that pervade everyday life.
