This book focuses on American political discourse connected to war,
dissent, and empathy. Through interdisciplinary methods of history,
politics and media studies, the book examines ways in which
American self-identity alters as a consequence of media portrayal
of human suffering and of its existential others. It compares
representations of the Iraq wars to earlier precedents and looks at
the work of American activists, assessing how narratives and images
of human suffering in new media iconography generate empathic
attitudes towards others. This comparative, multimodal study helps
to explain shifting self-identities within the U.S, and
relationally through the representation of the Arab other
presenting an original and historicised contribution to the
media-war field of academic and public debate. The book underscores
empathy as a vibrant category of analysis that expands how we think
about West-Arab relations, revealing how understanding the cultural
aspects of this conflictual interrelationship needs to be
broadened.
