(A number of people have asked me to resend this because it apparently came through with no content -- sorry!) SCREENS OF TERROR: representations of war and terrorism in film and television since 9/11 'No other collection to date has so acutely, intelligently and coherently demonstrated the inseparability of information, entertainment, policy and public perception as prime vectors of "war on terror" discourses and sensibilities as these are represented in Hollywood products. If I had to choose a single source to interrogate the limitless suffusion throughout Hollywood texts of Hegemonic gaze and subjectivity – regardless of genre, whether "critical" or "mainstream" – it would be Screens of Terror.' - Oliver Boyd-Barrett, Professor of Journalism & Telecommunications, Bowling Green State University 'A compelling and timely interrogation of contemporary images of terror, this book has much to offer everyday consumers of popular films and television, be they students or casual readers.' - Cynthia Weber, Professor of International Relations, University of Sussex Edited by Philip Hammond, Professor of Media and Communications and head of the Centre for Media and Culture Research at London South Bank University. With contributions from: Matthew Alford + Martin Barker + Graham Barnfield + Michael Frank + Brigitte Nacos + Jack Holland + Hugh Ortega Breton + Joe Parker + Fran Pheasant-Kelly + Rebekah Sinclair + Mark Straw + Liane Tanguay + Guy Westwell + Bernd Zywietz Order online here: http://www.arimapublishing.co.uk/bookshopuk/bookinfo/book_184549501 -------------------------------------------------------- MeCCSA mailing list -------------------------------------------------------- To manage your subscription or unsubscribe from the MECCSA list, please visit: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=MECCSA&A=1 ------------------------------------------------------- MeCCSA is the subject association for the field of media, communication and cultural studies in UK Higher Education.
