Panic: A Study of Contemporary Social Life

This book offers an original analysis of panic in modern society, drawing on literature from sociology, cultural studies and popular psychology. Keith Tester explores how cataclysmic events and everyday experiences expose the fragility of our relationships, institutions and expectations.

By examining a range of academic sources, films, novels and current affairs, Tester sheds light on why and how we panic - both individually and collectively. This thought-provoking introduction to the subject is ideal for students, scholars and anyone interested in understanding the significance of panic in contemporary social life.
