This collection is the first book to comprehensively analyse the
relatively new and under-researched phenomenon of 'ruin porn'.
Featuring a diverse collection of chapters, the authors in this
work examine the relevance of contemporary ruin and its
relationship to photography, media, architecture, culture, history,
economics and politics. This work investigates the often ambiguous
relationship that society has with contemporary ruins around the
world, challenging the notions of authenticity that are frequently
associated with images of decay. With case studies that discuss
various places and topics, including Detroit, Chernobyl, Pitcairn
Island, post-apocalyptic media, online communities and urban
explorers, among many other topics, this collection illustrates the
nuances of ruin porn that are fundamental to an understanding of
humanity's place in the overarching narrative of history.
