Full title :Visualizing war : emotions, technologies, communities / edited by Anders Engberg-Pedersen and Kathrin Maurer.

Summary

"Wars have always been connected to images. From the representation of war on maps, panoramas, and paintings to the modifern visual media of photography, film, and digital screens, images have played a central role in representing combat, military strategy, soldifers, and victims. Such images evoke a whole range of often unexpected emotions from ironic distance to boredom and disappointment. Why is that? This book examines the emotional language of war images, how they entwine with various visual technologies, and how they can build emotional communities. The book engages in a cross-disciplinary dialogue between visual studies, literary studies, and media studies by discussing the links between images, emotions, technology, and community. From these different perspectives, the book provides a comprehensive overview of the nature and workings of war images from 1800 until today, and it offers a frame for thinking about the meaning of the images in contemporary wars."--Provided by publisher
