The Permeable Fortress

Author:

Pauschinger Dennis

Abstract

Abstract Chapter 4 investigates how mega-event security has been concretely implemented in Rio de Janeiro. The chapter demonstrates how the fortress ambitions were established spatially and illustrate the strategy of occupying Rio with police and military forces, creating a fortress within a fortress. The chapter dives into the immediacy of the security perimeters around the Maracanã stadium and the Olympic Park, narrating through ethnographic accounts how security measures were implemented but provoked institutional conflicts, shortcomings, and new security risks. The most emblematic account in the chapter happened in the inner security perimeter around the Maracanã stadium while accompanying police officers during their long-hours shift to secure the enrolment of the World Cup. Another scene features an explorative walk in the Rio 2016 Olympic Park in which the security measures tremendously failed. Essentially, the chapter reveals how porous and permeable the fortress was throughout both events, producing novel conflicts and insecurities.
