The media have always played a central role in organising the way
ideas flow through societies. But what happens when those ideas are
disruptive to normal social relations? Bringing together work by
scholars in history, media and cultural studies and sociology, this
collection explores this role in more depth and with more attention
paid to the complexities behind conventional analyses. Attention is
paid to morality and regulation; empire and film; the role of
women; authoritarianism; wartime and fears of treachery; and fears
of cultural contamination. The book begins with essays that
contextualise the theoretical and historiographical issues of the
relationship between social fears, moral panics and the media. The
second section provides case studies which illustrate the ways in
which the media has participated in, or been seen as the source of,
the creation of threats to society. Finally, the third section then
shows how historical research calls into question simple
assumptions about the relationship between the media and social
disruption.
