Baraban, Stephan Jaeger, and Adam Muller. University of Toronto Press, 2012 Fighting Words and Images: Representing War Across the Disciplines. Edited by Elena V. Baraban, Stephan Jaeger, and Adam Muller. University of Toronto Press, 2012 http://www.utppublishing.com/Fighting-Words-and-Images-Representing-War-Acro ss-the-Disciplines.html Fighting Words and Images is the first comprehensive interdisciplinary and theoretical analysis of war representations across time periods from Classical Antiquity to the present day and across languages, cultures, and media including print, painting, sculpture, architecture, and photography. Featuring contributions from across the humanities and social sciences, Fighting Words and Images is organized into four thematically consistent, analytically rigourous sections that discuss ways to overcome the conceptual challenges associated with theorizing war representation. This collection creatively and insightfully explains the nature, origins, dynamics, structure, and impact of a wide variety of war representations.
