This multi-authored, interdisciplinary collection adopts an interpretive and participatory approach to examining meanings, affects, embodiment, identity, relationality and space in the context of riots and protests. The rapidly shifting terrain of riots and occupations has left existing social-scientific theories lagging behind, challenging dominant constructions of agency and rationality. This book will fill this gap, by offering new understandings and critical perspectives on the question of what happens in space, in time and between people, during and after riots. Weaving together observations, experiences and analyses of riots from participants, theorists and social scientists, the authors craft theoretical perspectives in close connection with researched practices. These perspectives take the form of new theoretical contributions on the spatiality, affectivity and immanent meaning of riots, and grassroots qualitative case-studies of particular events and contexts. Countering the preconceptions of riots as a trail of broken windows, burned dumpsters and angry conservatives, this book aims to demonstrate that riots are fundamentally creative, generating forms of meaning, power, knowledge, affect, social connection and participatory space which are rare, and sociologically important, in the modern world.Language: EnglishItem Height: 221mmItem Length: 151mmItem Width: 16mmItem Weight: 386gContributor: Alissa Starodub (Edited by), Andrew Robinson (Edited by)Genre: Business & FinanceTopic: Law & PoliticsCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBAuthor: Alissa StarodubRelease Year: 2018 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
