Revolting Subjects is a groundbreaking account of social abjection in contemporary Britain, exploring how particular groups are figured as revolting and how they in turn revolt against their subjectification. Utilizing a number of in-depth case studies, including ‘chavs’, asylum seekers, Gypsies and Travellers, and the 2011 London riots, Imogen Tyler argues for a deeper psychosocial understanding of the role of representational forms in producing marginality, social exclusion and injustice. The book also details how stigmatization and scapegoating are resisted through a variety of aesthetic and political strategies. Imaginative and original, Revolting Subjects is essential reading for those concerned about widening inequalities, growing social unrest and social justice.
