Culture and the Production of Insecurity
Genocide in Rwanda, instability in the Middle East, anarchy on the Internet—insecurities abound. But do they occur "naturally," or are they, as this path-breaking volume suggests, cultural and social productions?
Overview
Genocide in Rwanda, instability in the Middle East, anarchy on the Internet—insecurities abound. But do they occur "naturally," or are they, as this path-breaking volume suggests, cultural and social productions? About 30 scholars in political science, anthropology, and cultural studies assembled to discuss culture as both a source of insecurity and an object of analysis. The resulting collection of essays examines the cultural production of insecurity in local, national, and international contexts.
