The Bosnian war of 1992-1995 was one of the most brutal conflicts
to have erupted since the end of the Second World War. But although
the war occurred in 'Europe's backyard' and received significant
media coverage in the West, relatively little scholarly attention
has been devoted to cultural representations of the conflict.
Stephen Harper analyses how the war has been depicted in global
cinema and television over the past quarter of a century. Focusing
on the representation of some of the war's major themes, including
humanitarian intervention, the roles of NATO and the UN, genocide,
rape and ethnic cleansing, Harper explores the role of popular
media culture in reflecting, reinforcing -- and sometimes
contesting -- nationalist ideologies.
Exploring the controversial history of an aesthetic - realism -
this book examines the role that realism plays in the negotiation
of social, political, and material realities from the mid-19th
century to the present day. Examining a broad range of literary
texts from French, English, Italian, German, and Russian writers,
this book provides new insights into how realism engages with
themes including capital, social decorum, the law and its
politicisation, modern science as a determining factor concerning
truth, and the politics of identity. Considering works from Gustave
Flaubert, Charles Baudelaire, Emile Zola, Henry James, Charles
Dickens, and George Orwell, Docherty proposes a new philosophical
conception of the politics of realism in an age where politics
feels increasingly erratic and fantastical.
