It does so, firstly, by reconceptualising terrorism and counterterrorism as complex assemblages consisting not only of discursive-material components \u2013 an entanglement now largely accepted within CTS and critical security studies (CSS) \u2013 but also of affective layers and more-than-human phenomena. Secondly, by analysing European urban (counter)terrorist cases from the UK, Germany, France, and Spain, together with these cases\u2019 surprising spacetime-jumping interlinkages underwriting what we here conceptualise as queer(ing) spacetimematterings, this chapter zooms in on the intra-actions taking place between human and more-than-human agential phenomena and their risk-managed urban environments. Lastly, extra analytical attention is paid to how, in this neoliberal day and age \u2013 here rephrased as control society-driven \u2018situationscaping times\u2019 \u2013 very specific macro- and micropolitical violence-preventing measures and efforts are employed in the fight against various manifestations of urban terror and terrorism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first Urban Terrorism in Europe team project piece has recently been published in Contemporary Reflections on Critical Terrorism Studies (a Routledge volume edited by Alice Martini &amp; Raquel da Silva).
