This edited volume examines theoretical and empirical issues relating to violence and war and its implications for media, culture and society. Over the last two decades there has been a proliferation of books, films and art on the subject of violence and war. However, this is the first volume that offers a varied analysis which has wider implications for several disciplines, thus providing the reader with a text that is both multi-faceted and accessible. This book introduces the current debates surrounding this topic through five particular lenses: the historical involves an examination of historical patterns of the communication of violence and war through a variety sources the cultural utilises the cultural studies perspective to engage with issues of violence, visibility and spectatorship the sociological focuses on how terrorism, violence and war are remembered and negotiated in the public sphere the political offers an exploration into the politics of assigning blame for war, the influence of psychology on media actors, and new media political communication issues in relation to the state and the media the gender-studies perspective provides an analysis of violence and war from a gender studies viewpoint.Violence and War in Culture and the Media will be of much interest to students of war and conflict studies, media and communications studies, sociology, security studies and political science.

"Violence and War in Culture and the Media explores the roots of violence and war through the lenses of five very different disciplines (history, culture, sociology, politics and gender) with a focus on very different subjects, ranging from an original interpretation of Manet’s artwork "The Execution of Emperor Maximilian" to studies on early systems of communication in the Thirty Years War, culture and memories of violence and war, cyberwar, and rape narratives in South Africa, as well as war between Israel and Hezbollah in 2006, among other deeply researched chapters, all with a common denominator of media and communications. The result is totally unexpected and serendipitous, allowing disciplines that rarely speak to one another to inter-communicate—and learn from one another—for the very first time."- Hall Gardner, Professor and Chair, Department of International and Comparative Politics, American University of Paris"From the postal system in the Thirty Years War to bondage imagery in fashion shoots, from hacker activists in Eastern Europe to rape narratives in South Africa, these essays offer new connections between violence and culture, between mediation and domination, between the politics of conflict and the conflicts of politics." - Graham Meikle, Senior Lecturer in Communications, Media and Culture, University of Sterling
