This book examines some of the most pressing issues affecting contemporary societies in Europe in the 2020s, namely uncertainty, unrest and the fragility of individuals and groups. Monika Banaś, Vesa Puuronen and their contributors analyse a selection of challenges affecting the present and near future of Europe and European societies. They reflect on processes and events that have a pivotal impact on individual and collective life, for example, how the Russian invasion of Ukraine has affected reformulation or revision of such concepts as security, uncertainty, independence, freedom, democracy and democratic values as well as nation and nationalism. The volume discusses phenomena such as the migration and integration of refugees, media narratives on the Russian–Ukrainian war, political campaign rhetoric concerning the war, institutional engagement in fostering civil and inclusive societies, strategies of young people to cope with uncertainty in times of socio-economic challenges. The book offers a valuable reference for scholars and students of European societies studying a broad scope of courses in sociology, political culture, intercultural communication, intercultural and international relations, along with political science. It will also be of interest to experts and practitioners of the NGO sector active in supporting vulnerable individuals, communities and societies.

The book is divided into two sections: one focusing on the phenomenon of television and the other on audiences. It argues that television is changing from a singular object, fixed in a particular place, to a social phenomenon distributed across many devices and platforms. It also argues that audiences are increasingly demanding an ‘open relationship’ with television, as their attention is often distributed across multiple devices and platforms simultaneously. In addition to these aspects, we analyse the evolution of television since its inception, the need for a renewed public service 2.0 in tune with our times, the increasing dominance of talk shows and infotainment, and the new power of television combined with artificial intelligence. These and many other topics are covered in this book, which will be of interest to television professionals, academics in sociology, media studies, and various other fields.

In an age of invasive technology and mass data collection, how can we understand the true impact of surveillance on our lives and communities? Legacies of the Surveillance State offers a chilling exploration of two historical surveillance societies: East Germany and Northern Ireland during the 1970s and 1980s to provide a unique perspective on the human cost of surveillance. Cliodhna Pierce delves into the chilling similarities in surveillance tactics used by these ideologically opposed regimes, revealing the profound and lasting consequences for those living under constant scrutiny. Through a comparative analysis and personal testimonies from those who lived through it, Pierce uncovers the mechanisms of control, the manipulation of information, and the chilling effects on individual liberties and community cohesion. This book is a powerful reminder of the importance of vigilance in protecting our freedoms and a must-read for anyone concerned about the growing reach of surveillance in our modern world. It will appeal to scholars and students of surveillance studies, sociology, history, political science, policing and criminology, security studies, and science and technology studies.

Challenging the inference in social science that taking subjectivity into account somehow conflicts with approaches that emphasize the reality of the material conditions of existence, this book shows how subjective perceptions of one’s future can help to capture class and inequality, considering the extent to which material conditions (such as wealth, income, and power) are revealed by subjective indicators. That is to say, to take the full measure of social inequality, “feels like” economic opportunities matter: subjectivity, when considered as temporal and closely linked with material conditions of existence, helps us apprehend social constraints. By presenting three empirical case studies that encompass both qualitative and quantitative methods, the author not only elaborates on arguments in Bourdieu’s early and relatively unknown works but also demonstrates the importance of sense of security and insecurity as markers of class inequality. An original analysis of wealth that deepens and enriches the study of class inequality, Class and Time-Based Subjective Inequality highlights the relevance of a dynamic and absolute definition of subjective inequality for capturing marginalized positions. It will, therefore, appeal to scholars of sociology, economics, and politics with interests in social theory, contemporary inequalities, and social class.

Hybrid Labour written by Annalisa Murgia and has been published by Taylor & Francis this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2025-02-03 with Social Science categories.
This book advances the debate on the hybrid areas of labour by taking the case of work arrangements that destabilise the dichotomies between standard and non‐standard work and between self‐employment and dependent employment. By maintaining the connection between structural conditions and human agency, it focuses not only on how workers at the boundaries between employment and self‐employment are affected by social norms and institutions but also on how they can shape them in turn, especially through collective organising. The analysis presents the main findings of the ERC project SHARE – Seizing the Hybrid Areas of work by Representing self‐Employment – a six‐year transdisciplinary and multi‐method study conducted by combining comparative analysis of labour laws and labour force surveys with a cross‐national ethnography carried out in six European countries: Germany, France, Italy, Slovakia, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. By proposing to use ‘Hybrid as Method’, the tensions between employment and self‐employment are analysed to challenge the hierarchy encoded in this dichotomy and to problematise its boundaries. Indeed, the category of hybrid has proved promising not only for understanding which categories are at stake but also how they have been historically constructed and how they may be differently imagined and conceptualised. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of all social sciences, particularly those who study the ongoing processes of individualisation and the novel forms of organising developed in the hybrid areas of labour. It will also be useful to activists and trade unionists, as well as policymakers.
