Everyday visuality and risk management: representing (in)security in UN peacekeeping/ Elke Krahmann - 2021

This article proposes a framework for analyzing the messages of security and risk conveyed by different modes of visual representations, ranging from press photos and educational images to outwardly appearances. It suggests that visual images and appearances are implicated in security management in four main ways: (1) They assist in the construction of self and other identities with regard to security, (2) they help to identify potential vulnerabilities, (3) they are used to educate people how to detect, assess, and behave in risky situations, and (4) they are employed to deter violent attacks.
