A Escola Galesa de Estudos Críticos de Segurança: segurança como emancipação

Abstract

The Critical Studies of Security appeared like counterpoint to the outline conceptual of the traditional studies of security, with the intention of proposing a new ontology and epistemology of the security and pointing to the necessity of the object of the security being re-defined, as well as to promote a bigger reflection about like the threats and to answers to those they are created. It is through these discussions about a critical approach of the security guard that there stands out the Welsh School of Critical Studies of Security and his principal authors, Ken Booth and Richard Wyn Jones. The project of studies of security of these authors will be going to re-define the security like equivalent to the emancipation of the individual of the structural cables what are prevented them from affirming freely inside his communities, retaking for that the concepts of emancipation, technology and enlightenment debated in the School of Frankfurt. Besides proposing a reconceptualização to the concept of security, Booth and Wyn Jones will be going to retake the strategic studies showing like these they influenced the intellectual rigidity of the discipline
