Abstract:
The search for security has become an almost permanent feature of the contemporary lived experience. The modern study and practice of security have been largely concerned with the protection, preservation and sustaining of the tangible and the visible. For many people around the world, feelings of security also derive from understandings of individual or community’s relationships with invisible and spiritual forces. Religious devotion and divine protection represent a central plank of security for many, just as fears of divine retribution, demonic possession or witchcraft feature as a central dimension of insecurity for many others. This remains a significant blindspot in much of security studies and often eludes and challenges state authority as much as it intersects with and enhances it. This study reflects critically on the provenance and implications of this blindspot and argues for an expanded understanding of what ‘counts’ as (in)security. The article emphasizes the global character of spiritual (in)security and the challenges an understanding of (in)security.
