The Sensation of Security explores how private security guards are
a permanent, conspicuous fixture of everyday life in the Brazilian
city of Rio de Janeiro. Drawing on long term ethnographic research
with security laborers, managers, company owners, and elite global
consultants, Erika Robb Larkins examines the provision of security
in Rio from the perspective of security personnel, providing an
analysis of the racialized logics that underpin the ongoing work of
securing the city. Larkins shows how guards communicate a sensacao
de seguranca (a sensation of security) to clients and customers who
have the capital to pay for it. Cultivated through performances by
security laborers, the sensation of security is a set of culturally
shaped racialized and gendered impressions related to safety,
order, well-being, and cleanliness. While the sensacao de seguranca
indexes an outward facing task of allaying fear of crime and
maintaining order in elite spaces, it also refers to the emotional
labor and embodied worlds that security workers navigate.
