AB  - With  this  article  the  authors  intend  to  underline  the  critical potential  of  Human Security  as  a  liminal  field  of  research  and  practice  and  then  explore  visual  methods (photography   and   documentary   film-making)   as   innovative   tools   for   unveiling   and assessing  the  discursive  nature  of  global  (in)security.  By  promoting  these  methods  as productive ways of bridging the gap between levels of analysis –from local insecurities to global trends and backwards, from human resilience at local levels to governance choices and  backwards –the  authors  intend  to  raise  new  epistemological  and  methodological questions (within International Relations, security studies and the social sciences at large) and  take  the  (global)  security  problématique  to  broader  audiences.  Taking  stock  of  field activities (academic research, volunteer work and collaborative filming) conducted by the authors  in  the  last  four  years  in  Nicaragua,  Fiji,  Portugal  and  Rwanda,  the  assumption  is such  that  as  an  emergent  discourse –intersecting  the  academia  with  the  worlds  of (in)security –Human Security needs to take areflexivist turn in order to be able to foster social  innovation  and  change  for  those  affected  by  tangible  insecurities.  Hence,  a  closer link  between  the  arts  and  the  humanities  is  critical  here  and  sits  at  the  very  core  of  the epistemological  paradigm  the  authors  set  out  to  put  forward.  This  article  works  as  the (meta)theoretical grounding for a more empirical informed second paper that shall expand on  the  authors’  research  experience  of  ‘film-making  for  fieldwork’  in  Nicaragua,  Fiji, Portugal and Rwanda from 2010 to 2014.
