Working predominantly in the area north of Johannesberg and the region south of Jerusalem, Clarno investigates the security apparatuses of South Africa and Palestine/Israel through interviews with security officials, poor racialized people, and those who straddle both categories as laborers employed by the security system to police their own communities. This work makes important contributions to conversations about political economies of race and racism, anthropologies of the state, counterinsurgency and security studies.

On the 24th of May 2010, Private Chelsea E. Manning was arrested by the United States government on suspicion of leaking classified military material to WikiLeaks.

We explore two types of data: the data leaked by Manning and released by Wikileaks, and the material of her subsequent court-martial released through Freedom Of Information (FOIA) requests.
