As societies grapple with an unprecedented refugee and migration
crisis, child refugees and migrants-who constitute a particularly
vulnerable immigrant category-have been surprisingly overlooked in
immigration scholarship. Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Child
Migrants: Seen but Not Heard addresses this lapse by presenting
analyses of child refugees and migrants. This comprehensive
overview considers the challenges facing young migrants and
refugees through richly varied academic perspectives that integrate
communication, media studies, journalism, sociology, criminology,
cultural studies, international relations, and public policy.
Employing diverse theoretical and methodological lenses, this
collection addresses the sociopolitical and cultural exigencies
prompted by child migrants and refugees, engaging a range of
academic and policy discussions. Relevant to scholars and
policymakers alike, Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Child
Migrants is an integral and foundational text to explore this
relatively unchartered region of immigration research.
Audience Responses to Real Media Violence: The Knockout Game
considers an emerging and relatively overlooked area of media
effects research: user-generated cellphone videos that feature real
violence and its victims. Focusing specifically on a recent
sinister media trend known as the Knockout Game, Mary Grace Antony
explores how audiences respond to the victims in these videos. How
do we assess the realism of this violence? And how do these
evaluations of realism in turn influence our feelings of empathy
and concern for the victims of violence? The burgeoning abundance
and availability to real media violence online makes these
questions more relevant today than ever before, and illustrates our
complex responses to new and emerging media subgenres.
