Ignorance is Strength?: Intelligence, security, and national secrets. Rappert, B. & Balmer, B. In Routledge International Handbook of Ignorance Studies. Routledge, 2 edition, 2022. Num Pages: 9abstract bibtex This chapter takes as its topic the challenge of knowing about what is often purposefully rendered difficult to know about matters of defense, intelligence and security. Within such domains, ignorance is both embraced and rejected, induced and deterred, as well as milled and disregarded. This chapter considers this ‘Janus-faced’ quality as it relates to the mobilization of ignorance as a strategic resource, how ignorance and identity are constituted in acts of violence, as well as the methodological issues arising from the study of security and ignorance. In doing so, the argument challenges polarized views that see a clear separation between ignorance and knowledge.
