Summary

Introduction: secrecy, security, and the covert imaginary -- Deciphering Venona: time, space, and the mobilization of secrecy -- On Orford Ness, an island full of national secrets -- The 9/11 commission: secrecy and public inquiry -- Anti-deportation: migration and the aesthetics of secrecy.

"In State Secrecy and Security: Refiguring the Covert Imaginary, William Walters calls for secrecy to be given a more central place in critical security studies and elevated to become a core concept when theorizing power in liberal democracies. Through investigations into such themes as the mobility of cryptographic secrets, the power of public inquiries, the connection between secrecy and place-making, and the aesthetics of secrecy within immigration enforcement, Walters challenges commonplace understandings of the covert and develops new concepts, methods, and themes for secrecy and security research.
