| Sumario: | The book adopts Foucault's notion of dispositif, where the focus is not only on a heterogeneous set of technological artifacts and symbolic, legal, and discursive elements, both human and non-human, but on the networks that interconnect them to achieve the desired objective—security. This approach is more effective in accounting for the overflow of boundaries between the public and private spheres, as well as the dialectic between the de-statization and re-statization of governance and security practices. Furthermore, it offers the possibility of analyzing the role of emotions and ordinary feelings, which are more effective than ideologies in articulating the objects, agents, principles, and ideas of security, thus granting them their status as a dispositif.
