Individuals seek ways to repress the sense of violence within
themselves and often resort to medial channels. The hunger of the
individual for violence is a trigger for the generation of violent
content by media, owners of political power, owners of religious
power, etc. However, this content is produced considering the
individual's sensitivities. Thus, violence is aestheticized.
Aesthetics of violence appear in different fields and in different
forms. In order to analyze it, an interdisciplinary perspective is
required. The Handbook of Research on Aestheticization of Violence,
Horror, and Power brings together two different concepts that seem
incompatible-aesthetics and violence-and focuses on the basic
motives of aestheticizing and presenting violence in different
fields and genres, as well as the role of audience reception.
Seeking to reveal this togetherness with different methods,
research, analyses, and findings in different fields that include
media, urban design, art, and mythology, the book covers the
aestheticization of fear, power, and violence in such mediums as
public relations, digital games, and performance art. This
comprehensive reference is an ideal source for researchers,
academicians, and students working in the fields of media, culture,
art, politics, architecture, aesthetics, history, cultural
anthropology, and more.
