A new article by Lee Jarvis offers a new approach to vernacular security discourse not (only) as a window into everyday experiences of fear, risk, danger. But (also) as an site of political argumentation where the security-ness of issues, actors, and decisions is explored and contested. ⬇️

Enactors of the State: @profjackholland.bsky.social & Natalie Higham-James examine the everyday coproduction of security in the prevention of radicalisation. Read OPEN ACCESS: buff.ly/3STjhlv #PSHighlyViewed 6/10 @polstudiesassoc.bsky.social #polsky #polsci
"Abstract
Since 2001, studies of (counter)terrorism and (counter)radicalisation have burgeoned. However, at times, these literatures have reduced the agency of ordinary citizens, imagining them as ‘actors of the state’ and ‘petty sovereigns’. By integrating vernacular security approaches with allied research in Education, we develop a novel ontological conceptualisation of ordinary citizens as ‘enactors of the state’, engaged in the everyday coproduction of security. The article presents the findings of a survey, semi-structured interviews, focus groups, and participant observations, conducted in Manchester’s Further Education sector, following the 2017 Arena attack. We capture the security enactments of 95 elites, professionals, teachers, and students. Our data reveal the complex interactions, ensembles, and assemblages at the heart of security’s everyday coproduction. In contrast to existing approaches, we show how this creative dynamic operates through citizens’ variegated imbrications with state policy, complex relationalities, and subtle nuances in everyday enactment."
