This book explores how media and religion combine to play a role in
promoting peace and inciting violence. It analyses a wide range of
media - from posters, cartoons and stained glass to websites, radio
and film - and draws on diverse examples from around the world,
including Iran, Rwanda and South Africa. Part One considers how
various media forms can contribute to the creation of violent
environments: by memorialising past hurts; by instilling fear of
the 'other'; by encouraging audiences to fight, to die or to kill
neighbours for an apparently greater good. Part Two explores how
film can bear witness to past acts of violence, how film-makers can
reveal the search for truth, justice and reconciliation, and how
new media can become sites for non-violent responses to terrorism
and government oppression. To what extent can popular media arts
contribute to imagining and building peace, transforming weapons
into art, swords into ploughshares? Jolyon Mitchell skillfully
combines personal narrative, practical insight and academic
analysis.
