公民在英国国家安全战略的政策修辞中越来越占据核心地位,然而评估风险和威胁并确定优先次序的技术官僚方法并没有考虑到不同公众的观点和经验。同样,“传统的”和“批判的”伪装下的安全研究优先分析了威胁和(不)安全的政治主题。为促成最近的“白话”和“日常”转向,本文借鉴了2012年在英国六个城市进行的广泛的关键焦点小组研究,以调查(1)公民认为哪些问题具有威胁性,以及他们如何知道,构建和叙述“安全威胁”,以及(2)公民意识到的程度,参与和/或拒绝政府在公共场所培养警惕和怀疑的努力。然而,我们并没有对特定“类型”的公民的想法进行概括,而是受到雅克·朗西埃工作的启发,开发了一种“破坏性”的方法。虽然许多观点,轶事和故事再现了警察的命令,在朗西埃的术语,它也可以确定政治话语,破坏了对威胁和(不)安全的主流理解,重新政治化的理由,国家安全议程的授权,并揭示实际存在的替代怀疑和不安的文化。
Citizens increasingly occupy a central role in the policy rhetoric of British National Security Strategies, and yet the technocratic methods by which risks and threats are assessed and prioritized do not consider the views and experiences of diverse publics. Equally, security studies in both ‘traditional’ and ‘critical’ guises has privileged analysis of elites over the political subject of threat and (in)security. Contributing to the recent ‘vernacular’ and ‘everyday’ turns, this article draws on extensive critical focus-group research carried out in 2012 across six British cities in order to investigate (1) which issues citizens find threatening and how they know, construct and narrate ‘security threats’, and (2) the extent to which citizens are aware of, engage with and/or refuse government efforts to foster vigilance and suspicion in public spaces. Instead of making generalizations about what particular ‘types’ of citizens think, however, we develop a ‘disruptive’ approach inspired by the work of Jacques Rancière. While many of the views, anecdotes and stories reproduce the police order, in Rancière’s terms, it is also possible to identify political discourses that disrupt dominant understandings of threat and (in)security, repoliticize the grounds on which national security agendas are authorized, and reveal actually existing alternatives to cultures of suspicion and unease.
