📝Through an interpretive reading of Derry Girls, I show how humour and nostalgia can stabilise and reproduce dominant conflict narratives even when they look resistant. The chapter calls for putting ideology critique back into vernacular security research.

📝Instead of romanticising “ordinary voices”, I treat the vernacular as an ideological site that manages ontological (in)security through unconscious attachments to hegemonic narratives of conflict and peace.
