Sociology of Crisis

Sociology of Crisis: Visualising Urban Austerity is a timely investigation into core sociological perspectives on crisis and austerity: time, the ‘Other’, contagion and urban space; resistance and future(s). Using methods from visual and urban sociology, it tackles the dual crisis of representation: both the political crisis of loss of faith in representative democracy as well as arguments about the partial, time-bound, subjective frame of photographic representations.
