'Fear' in the twenty-first century has greater currency in western
societies than ever before. Through scares ranging from cot death,
juvenile crime, internet porn, asylum seekers, dirty bombs and
avian flu, we are bombarded with messages about emerging risks.
This book takes stock of a range of issues of 'fear' and presents
new theoretical arguments and research findings that cover topics
as diverse as the war on terror, the immigration crisis, stranger
danger, global disease epidemics and sectarian violence. This book
charts the association of fear discourses with particular spaces,
times, social identities and sets of geopolitical relations. It
examines the ways in which fear may be manufactured and manipulated
for political purposes, sometimes becoming a tool of repression,
and relates fear to political, economic and social marginalization
at different scales. Furthermore, it highlights the importance and
sometimes unpredictability of everyday lived experiences of fear -
the many ways in which people recognize, make sense of and manage
fear; the extent of resistance to fear; the relation of fear and
hope in everyday life; and the role of emotions in galvanizing
political and social action and change.
