DESCRIPTION:'The Short Hot Summer': The August Riots in the UK, 2011 \n\nThe August 
 ‘riots’ in Britain last summer were portrayed by the media and 
 politicians as the actions of ‘greedy feral youth’ or ‘gangs’ 
 within a ‘criminal underclass’. Most of these politically loaded 
 explanations were presented before what had happened was even known. Using 
 hard research and the voices of participants, this event will provide an 
 analysis of the ‘riots’ of August, considering what (actually) 
 happened, who was involved and how they did it. This approach is 
 complimented by a critique of the content and use of government statistics 
 and the representation of the disturbances in the media and mainstream 
 politics. \n\nThe seminar discussion will be complimented by a showing of 
 the short film ‘Rebellion in Tottenham 2011’. \n
