Abstract: What can we learn from the Hollywood’s portrayal of the nail-gun as weapon? Is it simply a gimmick? A novel way to enact on-screen violence? Or is it emblematic of an emergent paranoid “regime of truth” regarding the intersection of domesticity and
violent crime? In this presentation I will briefly explore how the nail-gun suggests ways of thinking about neoliberal vigilantism by looking at some recent U.S. film and television productions.</div>
