Disrupted Knowledge: Scholarship in a Time of Change
is a collection of essays that reflects the important work being done by the faculty in the School of Arts and Cultures at Newcastle Universitysince 2020.
It focuses on the intersecting disruptions of Covid-19, #BlackLivesMatter, political extremism, gender justice, the commodification of LGBTQ lives, and social media influence. Chapters in this book interrogate the themes of discourse, materiality, and affect; neoliberalism and commodification; media, citizenship, social relations and objects; the cultural politics of (in)visibility; and self-reflexivity and auto-ethnography.
