DOI: 10.1177/0967010608088773 Beyond Risk: Premediation and the Post-9/11 Security ImaginationDepartment of European Studies, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, m.degoede{at}uva.nl In the context of the `war on terror', techniques of imagining the future have taken on new political significance. Richard Grusin has coined the term `premediation' to describe the way in which news media and cultural industries map and visualize a plurality of possible futures. This article examines the relation between the politics of risk and premediation as a security practice. Premediation simultaneously deploys and exceeds the language of risk. Its self-conscious deployment of imagination in security practice feeds economies of both anxiety and desire.
Key Words: `war on terror' risk premediation security stress testing
