Boredom Studies is an increasingly rich and vital area of
contemporary research that examines the experience of boredom as an
importan - even quintessential - condition of modern life. This
anthology of newly commissioned essays focuses on the historical
and theoretical potential of this modern condition, connecting
boredom studies with parallel discourses such as affect theory and
highlighting possible avenues of future research. Spanning
sociology, history, art, philosophy and cultural studies, the book
considers boredom as a mass response to the atrophy of experience
characteristic of a highly mechanised and urbanised social life.
