'E-scape' is a pun with purpose! With an extensive§literature review, this book examines: 1. the need to escape from reification and state-centric§approaches within political sociology; 2. the§important role of e technologies and mediascapes to§the understanding of contemporary cultural politics;§and, 3. the schematic use of Appadurai s (1996)§dynamic scapes approach which highlights§disjunctures and global cultural flows . This book§outlines disciplinary disjunctures (e.g. the§much-debated postmodernist turn in political§sociology), material disjunctures (e.g. social,§technological,and economic inequalities), and§conceptual disjunctures (e.g. varied discursive§conceptions of civil society , surveillance , power and democracy in political sociology). The postmodern turn or cultural turn within§contemporary political sociology is explored. The§concept of 'scapes' allows for a useful theoretical§tool to explore both structure and disjuncture while§furthering an understanding of flows, texts, and§institutions. This book reviews a broad sampling of§literature in political sociology and provides an§innovative exegetical account upon which future§research may build.
