Abstract
When the public square is closed, all that remains is the tower and its shadow. As anthropologists of space and security, we watched as COVID‐19 emptied our streets. The shadow fell on distant friends, then on close family; we also used the chilling language of ‘common sense’ to instruct others in these exceptional times. There is a lot wrong in wishing for a return to normality if ‘normal’ is oppression, but anger at injustice does not excuse intellectual paralysis. We must be on guard now, alert to the dangers posed by security.
