Abstract:

This article develops a reading of Don DeLillo’s novel Cosmopolis that differentiates between two thematic and poetological axes running through the text. On the one hand, Cosmopolis explores the future-fixation of the risk regime of finance capitalism; on the other, it stages scenes of insecurity that physically threaten the protagonist and his world. Insecurity, the article argues, is a condition that throughout the text increasingly gains in appeal because it promises to offer an alternative to a world of managed risk. The concern with security emphasizes finitude and mortality, thus enabli

Critics have pointed out discrepancies between what is commonly understood as the American Dream in the mainstream culture at large and the fictive representation of Chicanos or Mexican-Americans who attempt to appropriate the dream as their own. For example, Luther S. Luedtke explores the Chicano novel Pocho only to conclude that this novel confirms its protagonist as a “universal man” who “suffers an existential insecurity against which no community can protect him” (14). The existential plight demonstrated in the novel is heightened because of the distance between the historical and mythica

Abstract:

In Sacred and Secular (2011 [2004]) Norris and Inglehart argued that improvements in material living conditions and higher degrees of existential security lead to a decline in religiousness both on the macro-level of the comparison between countries and on the individual level. Since then, a number of studies have examined this relationship and confirmed the assumptions of the existential security thesis. This article revisits this thesis using data from the sixth wave of the World Values Survey (2010–2014). The multi-level analysis reveals two key results. Consistent with previous studies, a

Abstract:

Abstract Despite the consolidated body of public international law on children’s rights and armed conflict, why do armed rebel groups and state forces deploy children in armed conflict, particularly in Somalia? First, due to the lack of alternative sources of income and livelihood beyond armed conflict, children join the army due to coercive recruitment by commanders of armed groups. Their participation in armed conflict generates a fleeting and false sense of material security and belongingness in a group. Second, many Somali children were born in an environment of existential violence and ma

Abstract:

Secularisation theory would suggest that with increasing economic development, industrialisation and modernity, the influence of the church should be waning. However, more recent theories regarding religiosity in times of personal and contextual insecurity have suggested that secularisation is not a linear process. Existential security theory predicts that religiosity and religious practice are higher in times of insecurity. Given the economic crisis of 2008, the changes in many governments and subsequent austerity measures, it could be argued that all households in austerity countries are fac

Generally, insecurity in Nigeria is no longer news. This insecurity finds expression socially, politically, economically and physically. This paper, however, focuses on the threat to life and property that has become recurrent in recent times; especially earmarked by the recent cases of kidnapping, robbery, terrorism and genocide. Using the analytic and expository methods, findings show that an economic distributive injustice is a major factor contributing to the high rate of poverty and insecurity in the country today.

Abstract:

In this paper I reflect on a series of informal or ‘unstructured’ interviews with people experiencing chronic job insecurity. I show that far from being merely a source of data these interviews are dynamic social interactions wherein multiple dialogues are conducted between multiple selves. I argue that because interviews are epistemologically ambiguous, morally ambivalent and emotionally charged they cannot be seen simply as repositories of ‘objective facts’ but should also be understood as mutually constructed social events with an existential quality sui generis.

Abstract Focusing on the politics of sectarianism in the Middle East after the Arab uprisings, this article advances two main claims. First, it identifies the current climate of insecurity in the region amid major geopolitical shifts as a key condition that allows political leaders to present sectarian identities as being under (existential) threat. However, a heightened sense of insecurity not only acts as an enabling condition but is also the outcome of these sectarian securitization strategies. The ‘politics of fear’ may thus trigger a self-sustaining mechanism, or a vicious cycle. Second,

The country faces challenges such as erratic rainfall, prolonged droughts, floods, and rising temperatures, which disrupt agricultural productivity and exacerbate food insecurity. This paper explores the impacts of climate change on Somalia’s food security and identifies challenges and adaptation strategies. The objectives include understanding the linkage between climate change and food insecurity and proposing actionable solutions to enhance resilience among vulnerable po

Abstract:

This article builds an ecofeminist lens from community efforts as a form of feeling alternative futures in Hawaii, with broader application for elsewhere. Women and children are critical groups on the front lines of climate-related crises, including food and housing insecurity, and the fight for environmental justice. Drawing upon personal experience, in this article, I highlight several grassroots projects that I have been connected to on the island of Oahu in Hawaii that exemplify community-based efforts to conceptualize, build and feel sustainable alternative futures.

Abstract:

Apart from biographical correlations marking the poetry of Breyten Breytenbach and Francois Villon (imprisonment and exile) there is an ongoing intertextual dialogue between the two authors on which this article focusses. Thematic correlations indicate that both oeuvres link up with the age-old literary tradition of the ubi sunt and the danse macabre. Stylistic correlations, such as word-play, the polyvalent nature of the text and the use of paradox as creative principle appear to be symptomatic of the existential insecurity characterizing historically and culturally transitional periods.

Our world is fractured, and our means of fixing it are in crisis. Two books written by eminent thinkers in finance and economics deliver a worrying prognosis: the systems shaping prosperity are broken. Neither, however, provides a realistic cure. This is not due to a lack of rigour, but because they miss a fundamental paradox between the freedom of ideals and action.In Permacrisis, Gordon Brown, Mohammed A.

Abstract:

This study examines the use of figurative language in the lyrics of Ariana Grande’s song Intro (End of the World), focusing on how these devices contribute to the emotional depth and thematic complexity of the song. These linguistic tools are shown to reflect the singer's emotional struggles and uncertainties about romantic relationships, particularly her doubts about love and commitment. The study highlights how figurative language serves not only to enhance the meaning of the song but also to engage listeners on an emotional level, allowing them to relate to themes of vulnerability, existent

Abstract   Whenever the topic of the Masters of Bengali Cinema comes along, four names are always on top. The Cinephiles frame their arguments on Classical Bengali Cinema by mentioning Tapan Sinha, Satyajit Ray, Mrinal Sen and Ritwik Ghatak. In this paper, a comparative analysis has been adopted to explain the film of Tapan Sinha ‘s Golpo Holeo Shatti (1966) as well as Mrinal Sens’s Chaalchitra (The Kaleidoscope). Both the films nurture the perfect blending of Magic realism. It braids together daily events with fantastic elements, and the real with the unreal. Releasing year o

AbstractFire outbreaks are common sources of anxiety and insecurity in informal settlements, but they can also provide new opportunities for claim making and governance of urban space. This article examines how a series of four fires in Accra, Ghana – three of which took place in its largest squatter settlement – offered new opportunities to experiment with governance, or a new way for residents and leaders to imagine and construct the future. Empirically, I document how, in the process of reconstruction, residents redrew property lines and reshaped social relations. They did this through the

Abstract:

The security of the signature scheme is destroyed because its secret information of the signature system is leaked due to the side channel attack. Ring signature has good application value, which can provide more flexibility and complete anonymity. It can be used in some systems such as anonymous authentication in ad hoc networks, electronic voting and crypto coin based on blockchain. Because of the side channel attack, the private key of the ring signature system may be exposed, which may cause insecurity. We present a ring signature system against continuous side channel attack.

In the context of increasing global displacement and ethnic violence, understanding how collective trauma shapes identity and recovery has become an urgent interdisciplinary concern. This study explores the dynamics of collective trauma through a comparative analysis of two emblematic events: the 1998 anti-Chinese riots in Indonesia and the 2015 European refugee crisis. These cases, though arising from distinct geopolitical and historical contexts, reveal common patterns of systemic violence, stigmatization, and institutional exclusion that deeply impact marginalized communities.

This paper focuses on the version of EU constructed interrelation between migration and security whereby African migration (regular and mostly irregular) is perceived threatening to the European civilization and national security with the need for extraordinary measures to address it. This delineates how African migration to Europe becomes securitized and the basic tenets of the securitization substantiate how it has been one-sidedly portrayed. The EU securitization approach towards African migration and its counterproductive outcomes have attracted the attention of this research. This approac

Schools are easy prey of terrorist attack since they lack the maximum security apparatuses that other state institutions possess. All over the world, terrorist attacks have taken place inside and beside school premises raising serious concern for government, security experts and school authorities. The recurring events of school shootings that keep taking place in the United States of America, Beslan Russia and even in Norway have proven that no school is totally immune
