O knihe
In the twenty-first century, a growing culture of fear is driving homeowners to retreat into fortified dwellings, concealed bunker pads and gated developments. Atkinson and Blandy explore the anxieties driving this retreat, ultimately linking them to the corporate and political manufacturing of fear, the triumph of neoliberal models of home ownership and related modes of social individualisation and risk that permeate society today.
Drawing on perspectives and research from criminology, socio-legal studies, urban studies and sociology, they uncover a challenging vision of the private home as a site of wavering anxiety and security, exclusion and warmth, where dreams of retreat and autonomy mesh closely with the defining principles of neoliberal governance.
