Matt Harker
Locating ontological security in home security technology

My seminar focuses on the third chapter of my dissertation, which investigates the connection between smart home technology (doorbells) and (in)security as an everyday practice.  I postulate that if Critical Security Studies and Surveillance Studies scholarships are to establish new theoretical networks for security, we need to better grasp how the micro-spaces of everyday technology alter the experience of bodies. Analysis in CSS has long sought to move away from elite understandings of security, but the connection between security and ontology remains understudied. This chapter seeks to fill this research gap by building an interdisciplinary theoretical framework to understand the affect of everyday security items, such as home technology, on bodies. Using an interdisciplinary network of research, I argue that the orientation of security is ontological because it determines our daily experience(s).

Matt Harker is a PhD Candidate at the Centre for the Study of Theory & Criticism at Western University in London, Canada. His research is situated within Critical Security Studies, Surveillance Studies, and Critical Theory. His dissertation explores the relationship between everyday security and ontology.

Security leftovers and the politics of remaking biosecurity

Security has distinctly material dimension, from identification, measurement, prevention, and tackling of threats and risks. Yet what happens to the socio-material leftovers of past securitizations that are no longer deemed relevant? How do they affect the processes of constructing and performing security? Inspired by actor-network reading of securitization and the research on sociotechnical imaginaries, this paper makes the cases for exploring the transformations of socio-material assemblages in the processes of assembling and re-assembling security. The paper shows how the sensitivity to specific sites enrolled in securitization processes can help render visible links between past and present security assemblages. Labelling the sites that connect different temporal assemblages as security leftovers, the research demonstrates how material arrangements are involved in and act back on securitization processes, as they carry on certain vision of socio-political order performed via discourses, practices, and design. The paper analyses this dynamic on the case of the Czech Biological Defence Centre Těchonín, which exemplifies the transformation of a Soviet military facility into a NATO-integrated institution integrated in global health security governance.

Dagmar Rychnovská is a Lecturer in Global Insecurities at the Department of International Relations, the University of Sussex. She holds a Ph.D. in International Relations from Charles University in Prague and was a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies Vienna. Her research explores the entanglements of science, technology, and security, especially in the areas of global health governance and biosecurity.
