abstract |
This article makes a claim for re-engaging the concept of ‘act’ in the study of securitization.
While much has been written about the discursive and communicative aspects of securitizing,
the concept of ‘act’ that contains much of the politicality of the speech-act approach
to security has been relatively ignored.The task of re-engaging ‘acts’ is particularly
pertinent in the contemporary context, in which politically salient speech acts are
heavily displaced by securitizing practices and devices that appear as banal, little
security nothings. The main purpose of the article is to begin the framing of a research
agenda that asks what political acts can be in diffuse security processes that efface
securitizing speech acts. |
