The impact of poststructuralism on thinking in the social sciences and humanities over the last decade has been profound. However, there has been little exploration of the implications of applying poststructuralism to a critical analysis of social policy. Today, with the decline of the welfare state and the emergence of "neoliberalism," policy makers urgently need new tools of analysis in order to rethink the relationship between citizens and the state. Putting constant emphasis on the theme of citizenship, Poststructuralism, Citizenship and Social Policy shows how poststructuralist ideas can

This book attempts to rethink masculinities. It considers the way in which discourse fabricates the "ideal" male body, sexual identity, and sexual identity politics. The book explores the possibilities of new models of identity not so closely linked to the sex/gender system and for a new or reconceptualized identity politics. (Sage)

"Digital media have become deeply immersed in our lives, heightening both hopes and fears of their affordances. While the internet, mobile phones, and social media offer their users many options, they also engender concerns about their manipulations and intrusions. Emotions Online explores the visions that shape responses to media and the emotional regimes that govern people's engagements with them. This book critically examines evidence on the role of digital media in emotional life. Offering a sociological perspective, and using ideas from science and technology studies and media studies, it explores: . The dimensions and operations of the online emotional economy . Growing concerns about online harms and abuse, especially to children . 'Deep-fakes' and other forms of image-based abuse . The role of hope in shaping online behaviours . 'Digital wellbeing' and its market . COVID-19's impacts on perceptions of digital media and Big Tech . Growing challenges to centralised control of the internet, and the implications for future emotional life The book breaks new ground in the sociological study of digital media and the emotions. It reveals the dynamics of online emotional regimes showing how deceptive designs and algorithm-driven technologies serve to attract and engage users. As it argues, digital media rely on the emotional labours of many people, including social media influencers and content moderators who make the internet seem smart. The book provides an invaluable overview of the evidence and debates on the role of digital media in emotional life and guidance for future research, policy, and action"--

The concept of risk is one of the most suggestive terms for evoking the cultural character of our times and for defining the purpose of social research. Risk attitudes and behaviours are understood to comprise the dominant experience of culture, politics and society in our times.Health, Risk and Vulnerability investigates the personal and political dimensions of health risk that structure everyday thought and action. In this innovative book, international contributors reflect upon the meaning and significance of risk across a broad range of social and institutional contexts, exploring current issues such as:, the escalation of the medicalization of life', involving the pathologization of normality and blurring of the divide between clinical and preventive medicine, the tendency for mental health service users to be regarded as representing a risk to others rather than being at risk' and vulnerable themselves, the development of health care systems to identify risk and prevent harm, women's reactions to high risk' screening results during pregnancy and how they communicate with other women about risk, men and the use the internet to reconstruct their social and sexual identities Charting new terrain in the sociology of health and risk, and focusing on the connections between them, Health, Risk and Vulnerability offers new perspectives on an important field of contemporary debate and provides an invaluable resource for students, teachers, researchers, and policy makers.
