In cognitive research, metaphors have been shown to help us imagine
complex, abstract, or invisible ideas, concepts, or emotions.
Contributors to this book argue that metaphors occur not only in
language, but in audio visual media well. This is all the more
evident in entertainment media, which strategically "sell" their
products by addressing their viewers' immediate, reflexive
understanding through pictures, sounds, and language. This volume
applies cognitive metaphor theory (CMT) to film, television, and
video games in order to analyze the embodied aesthetics and
meanings of those moving images.
Protest is a ubiquitous and richly varied social phenomenon, one
that finds expression not only in modern social movements and
political organizations but also in grassroots initiatives,
individual action, and creative works. It constitutes a distinct
cultural domain, one whose symbolic content is regularly deployed
by media and advertisers, among other actors. Yet within social
movement scholarship, such cultural considerations have been
comparatively neglected. Protest Cultures: A Companion dramatically
expands the analytical perspective on protest beyond its political
and sociological aspects. It combines cutting-edge synthetic essays
with concise, accessible case studies on a remarkable array of
protest cultures, outlining key literature and future lines of
inquiry.

In what ways have social movements attracted the attention of the
mass media since the sixties? How have activists influenced public
attention via visual symbols, images, and protest performances in
that period? And how do mass media cover and frame specific protest
issues? Drawing on contributions from media scholars, historians,
and sociologists, this volume explores the dynamic interplay
between social movements, activists, and mass media from the 1960s
to the present. It introduces the most relevant theoretical
approaches to such issues and offers a variety of case studies
ranging from print media, film, and television to Internet and
social media.

Wie formieren sich kollektive Identitaten in Protestbewegungen und
welchen Stellenwert nimmt hierbei visuelle Kommunikation ein? Diese
Ausgangsfrage der Arbeit stellt die expressive Ebene sozialer
Bewegungen in den Mittelpunkt. Habitus und Lebensstil werden als
primare psychosoziale Bindeelemente dargestellt, die zugleich die
Bedeutung visueller Formen der Selbst- und Fremdwahrnehmung
erklaren. Die Studenten- und Jugendbewegung Ende der 60er Jahre
wird als erste Neue Soziale Bewegung vorgestellt, in der Visualitat
und visuelle Medien eine kollektive Identitat regulieren, sichern
und erhalten."
