Investigating insecurity as the predominant logic of life in the
present moment Challenging several key concepts of the twenty-first
century, including precarity, securitization, and resilience, this
collection explores the concept of insecurity as a predominant
logic governing recent cultural, economic, political, and social
life in the West. The essays illuminate how attempts to make human
and nonhuman systems secure and resilient end up having the
opposite effect, making insecurity the default state of life today.
Unique in its wide disciplinary breadth and variety of topics and
methodological approaches-from intellectual history and cultural
critique to case studies, qualitative ethnography, and personal
narrative-Insecurity is written predominantly from the viewpoint of
the United States. The contributors' analyses include the
securitization of nongovernmental aid to Palestine, Bangladeshi
climate refugees, and the privatization of U.S. military forces;
the history of the concept of insecurity and the securitization of
finance; racialized urban development in Augusta, Georgia; Amazon's
Mechanical Turk and the consequences of the Marie Kondo method; and
the intricate politics of sexual harassment in the U.S. academy.
