Big Nihilism: Generation Z, Surveillance Capitalism, and the Emerging Digital Technocracy
The promise of an open cyberspace driven by an empowered generation of “digital natives” has collapsed, due to the corporate capture of the internet and the psychosocial immiseration of youngsters caused by the instrumental manipulation of them at the screen interface. Certain strands in the twentieth-century philosophy of technology can throw light on these developments in terms of (1) Martin Heidegger’s suggestion that the expanding influence o…

Digital Diversities: Social Media and Intercultural Experience
Digital Diversities is a groundbreaking interdisciplinary study of the social, social-psychological, philosophical and political ramifications of the 'digital turn' in human affairs. Focusing, in particular, on connections between the saturation of everyday life by digital communication technologies and 21st century global mobility, it offers fresh and original accounts of the interface between online communication practices and the negotiation o…
Negotiating Their Way In: The Middle Classes, Gentrification and the Deployment of Capital in a Globalising Metropolis
In this article, a new approach is outlined to the gentrification of London which argues that it is a diverse phenomenon. This reflects not merely contested explanations for gentrification but more importantly the different ways in which individuals and social groups have reacted to the effect of living and/or working in global cities on their 'work-life balance'. As the middle classes have increasingly lost a sense of place-based rootedness at w…
Social Capital, Gentrification and Neighbourhood Change in London: A Comparison of Three South London Neighbourhoods
Social capital has been used extensively in recent years to examine issues of social exclusion. Following Bourdieu, the concept is reintegrated into social theory alongside cultural and economic capital to examine the variations in the upgrading of gentrified areas of inner London. Three neighbourhoods in south London are compared and it is argued that their differences can, to a limited extent, be understood in terms of the differential deployme…
Coming to Terms with London: Middle-class Communities in a Global City
In this article we contrast the experience of middle-class life in two areas of South London. We hypothesize that different sections of the middle class will live in different areas. Whilst these differences partly reflect economic capabilities and occupational divisions (such as public versus private employment sector, professionals versus managers), we suggest these divisions are becoming more complex. We develop a threefold model based on the …
'No One Likes Us, We Don't Care': The Myth and Reality of Millwall Fandom
No One Likes Us, We Don't Care is the anthem of the most notorious fans in British football. In addition to the voices of the fans themselves, this book provides a rich and original account of the background and practices of Millwallism.
