This colloquy takes the Middle East region as a starting point from which to explore a contrapuntal concept of security that is subverted from its original meaning and captured from the state. The essays follow the lives of revolutionary youth, doctors, commodity traders, refugees, and spies to examine their experiences of (in)security. In doing so, the essays deploy storytelling and other ethnographic forms to think of the political economy, emotions, flows, and ethics of security from the perspective of those living-in-crisis.

中东的关键安全与人类学

这种口语以中东地区为出发​​点，从中探索了反安全的概念，该概念从其本来的含义被颠覆而被国家所俘获。这些文章跟踪了革命青年，医生，商品商人，难民和间谍的生活，以考察他们在（不安全）情况下的经历。通过这样做，论文采用讲故事和其他人种学形式，从危机中的人们的角度思考政治经济，情感，潮流和安全伦理。
