“…Recently geographers have examined peacebuilding (Le Billon 2008) and postconflict resolutions (Nicely 2010) as peace in practice and sought to unpack the tensions between contrasting and intertwined agendas for peace as both elitist and humanitarian discourses (Stokke 2009; see also Richmond 2005). Others have recognized the diverse spatialities of peace as it is differentially realized in daily lives (Blumen and Halevi 2009) and worked toward through geopolitical diplomacy (Henrikson 2005). How acts toward peace are embodied also constitutes an important perspective for interpreting the present and for imagining alternative futures (Koopman 2008(Koopman , 2010Alatout 2009;Phillips and Iqbal 2009).…”

“…Political forces in Israel, Iraq and Bosnia have also employed the state apparatus for ‘coercive spatial engineering’ in order to develop ideal territorial and identity‐driven borders (Ó Tuathail and Dahlman 2006). Conversely, peace activism in Israel/Palestine by Women in Black rely on state‐recognised public spaces in order express their critical and political resistance to violence (Blumen and Halevi 2009, 983). Security measures in the post 9/11/01 US were also marked by the increase of public surveillance (Amoore and Goede 2008; Katz 2007).…”

This article critically examines the entanglements between ‘security’ and the geopolitical and geo‐economic formations that assist in the cyclical continuation of conflict. The author questions the biopolitical configurations of state and private forms of militarised security. The author’s approach to this research addresses the spatial and corporeal aspects of civilian security in contemporary conflicts zones – with a specific focus on Afghanistan. Drawing on the work of feminist political geographers, this article highlights the corporeal as a key site of analysis for the everyday and seemingly apolitical spaces occupied by civilians living amidst political conflict. This descriptive analysis of security and insecurity focuses on four specific areas: (1) Afghan civilian security measures, (2) domestic spaces as sites of security and violence, (3) mobile forms of security and insecurity and (4) the divergent perceptions and experiences of security/insecurity between international civilian workers living in Afghanistan and Afghan civilian citizens. While macro‐scale analyses of security and civilian agency in various locations are important for geographic inquiry, it remains imperative that geographers and other social scientists examine the particularities of specific conflict sites and situations in order to avoid one‐size‐fits‐all responses to or analyses of political conflict – and subsequently flattening civilian experiences through aggregated forms of knowledge production. This paper seeks to investigate several key aspects of feminist political geography by examining the multiple and varied experiences of the everyday within this conflict zone.
