The New Politics of Visibility (eBook, ePUB)

Spaces, Actors, Practices and Technologies in The Visible
Redaktion: Brighenti, Andrea Mubi

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Nine interdisciplinary essays employ, explore, and critique the analytical category and the practical stakes of visibility.

Not only does visibility matter to politics, but it is an increasingly intrinsic constituent element and a crucial asset of it. Accordingly, the challenge to social science is that of understanding how the new institutional, urban, and technological settings are reshaping the organisation of the visible.

Ranging from urban public space to the new media and social media platforms, The New Politics of Visibility brings together a team of distinguished scholars and researchers interested in employing, exploring and critiquing the analytical category and the practical stakes of visibility. The collection comprises nine original interdisciplinary chapters that address a vast terrain of inquiry by joining together original theoretical elaboration with careful empirical studies. The transformations of urban space and the working of new media form a core concern recurring through many of the chapters, along with chapters that address the politics of visibility in crucial cultural spheres, including gender relations and professional life. The result is a thoroughly interdisciplinary endeavour, conducted with passion and insight.
