abstract |
In the context of deep economic and financial crisis, and amidst rising inequalities,
blame for several of the main social problems affecting the contemporary UK is being
apportioned to some of the most disadvantaged sections of society.
This blaming is driven by a strong anti-welfarism that regards social welfare provision
as among the key factors contributing to a social and moral crisis in the UK today.
The media also plays a key role in producing and reproducing anti-poor and anti-welfare
ways of thinking, sensationalising some of the more negative aspects of life in disadvantaged
communities. This representation of people experiencing poverty serves to set them
as a group apart from ‘normal’ and ‘mainstream’ society.
Anti-poor narratives, together with media misrepresentations of poverty increasingly
referred to as ‘poverty porn’, work to harden attitudes to social welfare in general
and to people in poverty specifically. |
