Abstract
This article compares sets of security practices, examining the links between them and nodal networks of taxi drivers in Salvador, Brazil. It uses data from interviews with drivers and employees, direct observation, and analysis of newspaper articles. It points to the influence of occupational differentiation on the practices used by drivers. It claims that these practices constitute and are constituted by nodal networks. It demonstrates the decisive role of the latter in generating, operating, and articulating individual and collective security practices. It concludes that nodal networks influence the imaginary and social construction of taxi drivers as offensive communities that must be brought into tune with a broader, fairer, and more democratic governance of security.
