This volume considers the rise of a new mode of creating,
spreading, and encountering moral claims and ideas as they are
expressed within spectacles. Brian M. Lowe explains how spectacles
emerge when we are saturated with mediated
representations-including pictures, texts, and videos-and exposed
to television and movies and the myriad stories they tell us. The
question of which moral issues gain our attention and which are
neglected increasingly relates to how societal concerns are
supported-or obscured-by spectacles. This project explores how this
new form of moral understanding came to be. Through a series of
case studies, including the use of radio and comic books; the
crafting of Russian national identity through art; television and
film; the evolution of human rights law through film and
journalism; and the promotion of animal rights campaigns, this book
unveils some of the ways in which our spectacular environment
shapes moral understanding, and is in turn shaped by spectacle.
