Abstract

"From terrorism and public health to museums, schools, and homes, FUTUREPROOF asks us to expand our purview of security, turning our attention to how security is lived, felt, and perceived through the violences of everyday life. Editors Asher Ghertner, Daniel Goldstein, and Hudson Fann propose the modality of "security aesthetics" as a way to understand how sensory and affective experiences help regulate bodies, spaces, and states in the service of "futureproofing" society against anticipated risks and perils. Taken broadly as the domain of sense perception, aesthetics provides a framework for considering the body's interactions with the material world and the processes by which these interactions translate into subjective judgments of taste. The contributions to this volume show us how security aesthetics work to fashion differently imagined futures, illuminating the interplay of sense perception and articulated reason in the operations of security apparatuses"--

Abstract

In August 2011, ethnographers Carolina Alonso Bejarano and Daniel M. Goldstein began a research project on undocumented immigration in the United States by volunteering at a center for migrant workers in New Jersey. Two years later, Lucia Lopez Juarez and Mirian A. Mijangos Garcia-two local immigrant workers from Latin America-joined Alonso Bejarano and Goldstein as research assistants and quickly became equal partners for whom ethnographic practice was inseparable from activism. In 'Decolonizing Ethnography' the four coauthors offer a methodological and theoretical reassessment of social science research, showing how it can function as a vehicle for activism and as a tool for marginalized people to theorize their lives. Tacking between personal narratives, ethnographic field notes, an original bilingual play about workers' rights, and examinations of anthropology as a discipline, the coauthors show how the participation of Mijangos Garcia and Lopez Juarez transformed the project's activist and academic dimensions. In so doing, they offer a guide for those wishing to expand the potential of ethnography to serve as a means for social transformation and decolonization.
