Critical Readings: Violence and the Media contains sections examining how media violence and its ‘effects’ have been theorized; how media production contexts influence the reporting and representation of violence; and how audiences engage with depictions of violence. Violence is analysed in as it is portrayed in different media formats, including television, film, radio, the news, public information campaigns, comics, video games, popular music, photography, and the internet. The readings cover a range of perspectives, including social learning, desensitisation and cultivation theories, ‘no-effects’ models, sociological, feminist and postmodern arguments. An editor’s introduction and section introductions serve to contextualise the readings.
Providing a detailed and theoretically grounded consideration of the cultural and social significance of media violence, Critical Readings: Violence and the Media is an essential resource for students of media studies, cultural studies, sociology and communication studies.
