How can audiences interact creatively, wisely and peaceably with
the many different forms of violence found throughout today's
media? Suicide attacks, graphic executions and the horrors of war
appear in news reports, films, websites, and even on mobile phones.
One approach towards media violence is to attempt to protect
viewers; another is to criticise journalists, editors, film-makers
and their stories. In this book Jolyon Mitchell highlights
Christianity's ambiguous relationship with media violence. He goes
beyond debates about the effects of watching mediated violence to
examine how audiences, producers and critics interact with news
images, films, video-games and advertising. He argues that
practices such as hospitality, friendship, witness and worship can
provide the context where both spectacular and hidden violence can
be remembered and reframed. This can help audiences to imagine how
their own identities and communities can be based not upon
violence, but upon a more lasting foundation of peace.
