Peace Journalism, War and Conflict Resolution draws together the
work of over twenty leading international writers, journalists,
theorists and campaigners in the field of peace journalism.
Mainstream media tend to promote the interests of the military and
governments in their coverage of warfare. This major new text aims
to provide a definitive, up-to-date, critical, engaging and
accessible overview exploring the role of the media in conflict
resolution. Sections focus in detail on theory, international
practice, and critiques of mainstream media performance from a
peace perspective; countries discussed include the U.S., U.K.,
Germany, Cyprus, Sweden, Canada, India, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea
and the Philippines. Chapters examine a wide variety of issues
including mainstream newspapers, indigenous media, blogs and
radical alternative websites. The book includes a foreword by
award-winning investigative journalist John Pilger and a critical
afterword by cultural commentator Jeffery Klaehn.
Real Sex Films explores one of the most controversial movements in
international cinema through an innovative interdisciplinary
combination of theories of globalization and embodiment. Risk
sociology, feminist film theory and critical feminist mapping
theory are brought together with concepts of production, narrative,
genre, authorship, stardom, spectatorship and social audience as
several lenses of both 'mutual understanding' and 'galvanizing
extension' in ways of seeing this object of 'real-sex cinema'.
Notions of personal subjectivity and critical distance,
disciplinary co-operation and critique, and cinematic perceptions
of the utopia and dystopia of love within risk modernity are the
tensions exposed reflexively and in parallel, as each chapter
focuses different lenses communicating intimacy, desire, risk and
transgression. This is a book which substantively, methodologically
and theoretically is embracing and engaging in its consideration of
the images, ethics, 'double standards' and embodiments of brutal
cinema. Written in a style free of jargon, and crossing the
boundaries of film studies, media and cultural studies, the
ethnographic turn, risk sociology, feminist psychoanalytical and
geopolitical studies, this is a book for students, academics as
well as general and professional audiences.
