Abstract
This paper proposes a critical contribution to the contemporary debates around the ‘culture of fear’ in media and communication studies. It seeks to open up new lines of inquiry into the political significance of fear in the production of everyday life and subjectivity in the context of hyper-mediatized global modernity. Drawing on Jesús Martín-Barbero’s concept of ‘mediations’, the paper aims to contribute to the vital critical communication and media studies scholarship on the culture of fear by proposing the incorporation of analyses of the diverse and creative struggles of social movements working to subvert the political uses of fear in the dominant public sphere.
