Drawing on approaches from the emerging 'Beirut School' of Critical Security Studies (CSS) that foreground the role of violence and its impact on lived experiences of (in)security, demonstrates: (i) how the regime's use of reconstruction to reinforce loyalty and political survival through spatial means amounted to a form of urbicide under the guise of security, showing how necropolitical and biopolitical mechanisms replicate colonial techniques; and (ii) how Syrians, forced to navigate the violence and insecurity bred by these reconstruction efforts, attempted to preserve the memory and identities of 'lost' space, highlighting the fragility of (in)security assemblages and the potential emergence of counter-sites for alternative political subjectivities.Taylor & Francis2025202520252025info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10230/71610http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/03932729.2025.2471815reponame:Repositorio Digital de la UPFinstname:Universitat Pompeu FabraInglésInternational Spectator. 2025 Mar 14.© This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in The International Spectator on 14 Mar 2025, available online: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/03932729.2025.2471815.info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:repositori.upf.edu:10230/716102026-06-12T07:21:37Z
