Impending environmental catastrophe, threat of terrorism, viruses
both biological and virtual, disease: there seem to be so many
reasons to panic today. But what is panic and why does it happen?
This book uses a range of literature from sociology, cultural
studies and popular psychology to develop an original analysis of
panic in contemporary social life. Bringing together academic
literature from a range of disciplines, films, novels and current
affairs, it encourages thought about why and how we panic - both
individually and collectively. Keith Tester explores how
cataclysmic events and smaller-scale episodes expose the fragility
of our relationships, institutions and expectations. He shows how
thinking about panic reveals key aspects of contemporary social,
cultural and personal relationships. Panic is a highly readable and
incisive introduction to the subject for students, scholars and all
those who want to know what panic means and why it is important.
