BOOK DESCRIPTION
The Mediterranean island of Cyprus is the site of enduring political,
military, and economic conflict. This interdisciplinary collection takes
Cyprus as a geographical, cultural and political point of reference for
understanding how conflict is mediated, represented, reconstructed,
experienced, and transformed. Through methodologically diverse case
studies of a wide range of topics—including public art, urban spaces,
and print, broadcast and digital media—it assembles an impressively
multifaceted perspective, one that provides broad insights into the
complex interplay of culture, conflict, and identity.
Vaia Doudaki is Associate Professor of Media and Communication Studies
at the Department of Informatics and Media of Uppsala University. Her
research focuses on representations, identities, and discourse in media.
Her most recent work on the current economic crisis has been published
in journals such as Journalism, European Journal of Communication and
Javnost – The Public.
Nico Carpentier is Professor of Media and Communication Studies at the
Department of Informatics and Media of Uppsala University, Associate
Professor in the Communication Studies Department of the Vrije
Universiteit Brussel, and Docent at Charles University in Prague. His
previous book is The Discursive-Material Knot: Cyprus in Conflict and
Community Media Participation.
