Abstract

Following the nuclear test ban treaty, weapons scientists in U.S. nuclear weapons laboratories are developing virtual technologies to simulate nuclear testing. Their interpretations of these technologies are incommensurable with the interpretations of anti nuclear activists and conservatives in part because knowledge based on simulations is hyperconstructible. Introducing the notion of "securityscape," I connect the debate on simulations in nuclear science to the emergent literature on global structures, which has tended to ignore inter-state military relations, [anthropology of science, globalization, nuclear weapons, physics, war, U.S. culture, and activism]
