From ISIS propaganda videos to popular regime-backed TV series and
digital activism, the Syrian conflict has been dramatically
affected by the production of media, at the same time generating in
its turn an impressive visual culture. Yet what are the aesthetic,
political and material implications of the collusion between the
production of this sheer amount of visual media being continuously
shared and re-manipulated on the Internet, and the performance of
the conflict on the ground? This ethnography uses the Syrian case
to reflect more broadly on how the networked age reshapes
contemporary warfare and impacts on the enactment of violence
through images and on images. In stark contrast to the
techno-utopias celebrating digital democracy and participatory
cultures, Donatella Della Ratta's analysis exposes the dark side of
online practices, where visual regimes of representation and media
production dramatically intertwine with modes of destruction and
the performance of violence. Exploring the most socially-mediated
conflict of contemporary times, the book offers a fascinating
insight into the transformation of warfare and life in the age of
the internet.
