Today, we are living in a new social order: the (in)visibilization society. How and why is this society making so many human beings and the environment invisible, while simultaneously developing and expanding the practices, means, and structures to make them supposedly more "visible"? And what future(s) await(s) this society? This book offers a new sociological analysis of contemporary societies by exploring some of their core contradictions and resulting socio-ecological (dis)illusions and crises, together with the related conflicts between the (in)visible — now taking place within and between analog and digital spaces.
