Moral Panic and the Politics of Anxiety
Editat de SEAN HIERen Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 iun 2011
Many of the key twenty-first century contributions to moral panic theory have moved beyond the parameters of the sociology of deviance to consider the importance of moral panic for identity formation, national security, industrial risk, and character formation. Reflecting this growth, the book brings together recognized moral panic researchers with prominent scholars in moral regulation, social problems, cultural fear, and health risks, allowing for a more careful and critical discussion around the cultural and political significance of moral panic to emerge.
This book will prove valuable reading for both undergraduate and postgraduate students on courses such as politics and the media, regulatory policy, the body and identity, theory and political sociology, and sociology of culture.

Recenzii
'Overall, the essays provide unique perspectives on the importance of [moral panic studies], and many of the essays discuss and develop an integrated framework for understanding the importance of moral panics. A major strength is that most of the essays move beyond the sociology of deviance, viewing moral panics in terms of identity formation, industrial risk, character formation, and national security.'
'Advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students interested in politics, media, social theory, political sociology, and the sociology of culture will find this collection timely and enlightening. Summing Up: Highly recommended.'
