Climate Change, Moral Panics, and Civilization
In recent years, interest in climate change has rapidly increased in the social sciences and yet there is still relatively little published material in the field that seeks to understand the development of climate change as a perceived social problem. This book contributes to filling this gap by theoretically linking the study of the historical development of social perceptions about ‘nature’ and climate change with the figurational sociology of …
Moral Panics in the Contemporary World
Moral Panics in the Contemporary World represents the best current theoretical and empirical work on the topic, taken from the international conference on moral panics held at Brunel University. The range of contributors, from established scholars to emerging ones in the field, and from a working journalist as well, helps to cover a wide range of moral panics, both old and new, and extend the geographical scope of moral panic analysis to previous…
Pánicos morales como procesos civilizatorios y descivilizatorios? Un debate comparativo
This paper draws from a variety of case study examples of ‘moral panic analyses’, in combination with figurational analyses of the same topics, to comparatively explore the variant forms ‘moral panics’ take and how they develop, thereby analysing the multiple forms civilising processes can take. Using ‘moral panic’ as an illustrative example, this paper will discuss how and to what extent civilising processes can give rise to decivilising trends …
The idea of moral panic – ten dimensions of dispute
This paper explores the open and contested concept of moral panic over its 40-year history, exploring the contributions made by the concept’s key originators, as well as contemporary researchers. While most moral panic researchers are critical, humanist, interpretivist, interventionist and qualitative, this paper highlights ten areas of productive dispute within and around the meaning of moral panic theory’s ‘common sense’. Such diversity of inte…
Extending the Concept of Moral Panic: Elias, Climate Change and Civilization
Combining the theories and concepts of Norbert Elias with the empirical example of climate change, this article aims to extend and develop the concept of moral panic. The focus of the analysis is on the documentary An Inconvenient Truth - an exemplar of a more general trend in popular culture regarding the moralization and individual regulation of climate change. In the final sections of the article, Al Gore's short-term campaign is related to mo…
Moral Panic and Social Theory: Beyond the Heuristic
Chas Critcher has recently conceptualized moral panic as a heuristic device, or 'ideal type'. While he argues that one still has to look beyond the heuristic, despite a few exceptional studies there has been little utilization of recent developments in social theory in order to look 'beyond moral panic'. Explicating two current critical contributions - the first, drawing from the sociologies of governance and risk; the second, from the process/fi…
