| Sommario/riassunto: | "Based on a 2019 conference, this manuscript explores the concept of "Insecurity" as one of the governing logics of economic, political, and social life in the West at the end of the 2010s. The project's definition of insecurity expands the concept from its primarily economic meaning to include affective, ecological, and geopolitical concerns. Economic systems, climate systems, defense systems, data systems, academic governance: all are designed with security (and thereby insecurity) in mind. By focusing on insecurity, the manuscript shines a light on the ways in which purported attempts to make us secure and resilient end up having the opposite effect by making insecurity the default state of life in the 21st century. The contributors each take up the complex interdependence of security and insecurity from a variety of different methodological, theoretical, and disciplinary points of view"-- |
