                'fear' - article deadline: 21 January 2002
                       issue editor: Angi Buettner

As Brian Massumi pointed out in The Politics of Everyday Fear, there is
nothing new about the fact that "fear is a staple of popular culture and
politics". This was in 1993 and today "fear" is no less pervasive as a
global cultural commodity. For a privileged group of people "fear" is
something that can be purchased and actively sought out "for fun"; in
horror films, extreme sports, or travel to "the world's most dangerous
places", equipped with the notorious Worst Case Scenario Handbook. Yet, for
numberless people "fear" is not something to be consumed but a life-
threatening reality imposed on them.
