[Commlist] New Book: The New Politics of Visibility: Spaces, Actors, Practices and Technologies in The Visible

Intellect is pleased to share that /The New Politics of Visibility: 
Spaces, Actors, Practices and Technologies in The Visible 
<https://www.intellectbooks.com/the-new-politics-of-visibility>/*/,/* edited 
by Andrea Mubi Brighenti, is available in e-book and hardback.

Not only does visibility matter to politics, but it is increasingly 
becoming an intrinsic constituent element and a crucial asset to it. 
Accordingly, the challenge to the social science becomes that of 
understanding how the new institutional, urban and technological 
settings are reshaping the organisation of visible. This book brings 
together a team of distinguished scholars and researchers interested in 
employing, exploring and critiquing the analytical category and the 
practical stakes of visibility. Ranging from urban public space to the 
new media and social media platforms, a vast terrain of inquiry is 
addressed here by joining together original theoretical elaboration and 
careful empirical studies. The result is a thoroughly interdisciplinary 
endeavour, conducted with passion and insight.

/The New Politics of Visibility/ includes nine original chapters 
specifically commissioned for this collection. Contributions are 
interdisciplinary and address an array of topical areas in the newly 
emerging modes of governance and the novel social formations coming into 
existence. The transformations of urban space and the working of the new 
media form a core concern recurring through many of the essays, but is 
by no means the sole topic, as other essays address the politics of 
visibility in crucial cultural spheres including gender relations and 
professional life.
