Larkins shows how guards communicate a \u003ci\u003esensa鈬o de seguran軋\u003c\/i\u003e (a sensation of security) to clients and customers who have the capital to pay for it. Cultivated through performances by security laborers, the sensation of security is a set of culturally shaped racialized and gendered impressions related to safety, order, well-being, and cleanliness. While the\u003ci\u003e sensa鈬o de seguran軋\u003c\/i\u003e indexes an outward-facing task of allaying fears of crime and maintaining order in elite spaces, it also refers to the emotional labor and embodied worlds that security workers navigate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Erika Robb Larkins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501769731\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501769733\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Erika Robb Larkins","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44079814541567,"sku":"9781501769733","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_23b77227-edc6-4d73-a033-21519f8ede39.jpg?v=1685483299","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-sensation-of-security-erika-robb-larkins-9781501769733","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
