Bowker -- Micro-climates of (in)security in Santiago : sensors, sensing and sensations / Martin Tironi and Matías Valderrama -- Smart cities, smart borders : sensing networks and security in the urban space / Ilia Antenucci Summary Sensing In/Security is a book project that investigates how sensors and sensing practices enact regimes of security and insecurity. It extends long standing concerns with infrastructuring and emergent modes of surveillance and securitization by investigating how digitally networked sensors shape practices of securitization. Contributions in this volume engage with the ways in which sensing devices gain political and epistemic relevance in various forms of security, from border security and migration control to drone regulation, epidemiological tracking, aerial surveillance and hacking practices. Using infrastructure and infrastructuring as a conceptual lens, these studies explore the conditions of possibility of sensing threats and in/security, rendering multiple worlds tangible and (sometimes even more importantly) intangible. Instead of solely focusing on the specific sensory devices and their consequences, this collection engages with the emergence of sensor infrastructures and networks and the shaping of such 'macro entities' as international organizations, states and the European Union Analysis SOC071000 Notes Issued as part of book collections on Project MUSE Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Description based on print version record Subject Security, International -- Technological innovations Internal security -- Technological innovations Detectors -- Social aspects Remote sensing -- Social aspects Security systems -- Social aspects Electronic surveillance -- Social aspects Electronic surveillance -- Social aspects Form Electronic book Author Bowker, Geoffrey C., editor Poechhacker, Nikolaus, editor Klimburg-Witjes, Nina, editor Project Muse, distributor.
