Abstract

This chapter has set out to contribute to one of the most exciting developments in the critical security studies field in recent years—the emergence of vernacular security studies that seeks to give voice to the experiences and constructions of security to those who inhabit non-elite. The vernacular studies open commitment to theoretical “emptiness” (Jarvis in Int Stud Rev 21(1):107–126, 2019, p. 110) “allows for greater fidelity to the diversity of everyday stories” (Jarvis in Int Stud Rev 21(1):107–126, 2019, p. 110) and thus offers significant potential to offer a way to examine the plurality of articulations of security on social media.
