Gendered and Sexualized Figurations of Security

Figurations are distillations of shared meanings in words or images (Haraway, 1997) that reply upon multiple, contested and often contradictory understandings of what get called sexes, genders and sexualities to make sense of and secure the world. As we outline in this chapter, gendered and sexualized figurations are implicitly and explicitly drawn upon in security theory and practice. Because gendered and sexualized figurations of security participate in the organization, regulation and conduct of international security, security scholars and practitioners need clear theoretical and methodological frameworks to help them identify and analyze gendered and sexualized figurations.
