E20 Getting Through Security Part X

"Leviathan Sometimes" is Chapter 9 of Maguire and Westbrook, Getting Through Security: Counterterrorism, Bureaucracy, and a Sense of the Modern (Routledge 2020).  This chapter revisits the Hobbesian imagination of the state as the author of violence and order and . . . complicates matters.  Especially for those who might wish to speak truth to power, as the saying goes.
