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.
