Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. From ISIS propaganda videos to popular regime-backed TV series and digital activism, the Syrian conflict has been dramatically affected by the production of media, at the same time generating in its turn an impressive visual culture. Yet what are the aesthetic, political and material implications of the collusion between the production of this sheer amount of visual media being continuously shared and re-manipulated on the Internet, and the performance of the conflict on the ground?This ethnography uses the Syrian case to reflect more broadly on how the networked age reshapes contemporary warfare and impacts on the enactment of violence through images and on images. In stark contrast to the techno-utopias celebrating digital democracy and participatory cultures, Donatella Della Ratta's analysis exposes the dark side of online practices, where visual regimes of representation and media production dramatically intertwine with modes of destruction and the performance of violence.Exploring the most socially-mediated conflict of contemporary times, the book offers a fascinating insight into the transformation of warfare and life in the age of the internet. What has been the impact of visual media on the Syrian conflict? Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …

Paperback. Condition: New. Transformations in the Arab media landscape are a key element in regional dynamics of political change. Where do private owners of Arab media outlets stand on the scene? What part, if any, have they played in weakening dictatorships, countering sectarianism and political polarisation, and reforming business practices in the Arab world? Arab Media Moguls charts the fortunes of some leading media investors and entrepreneurs from Egypt, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Tunisia to examine their motives, management styles, financial performance and links to political power. The resulting profiles offer intriguing insights into the place of family, education, religion and media regulation in regional power structures.Globally, the rise of small digital media, increased competition law and the precedence of more digitally-savvy younger generations have fuelled doubts as to whether the archetypal 'media mogul' is a phenomenon with a future. How do such factors affect power plays in Arab media? Responding critically to existing Western scholarship and commentary on magnates in US and European media, this book explores how far existing assumptions and perceptions about powerful media owners' eccentricity, innovation and risk-taking apply in the Arab context and offers a range of alternative approaches to understanding the central position of certain individuals in the fast-changing Arab media business.…

Rilegato. Condition: new. A cura di A. Valeriani e Della Ratta D.Bologna, 2009; ril., pp. 215, cm 14,5x21,5.(Odoya Storia. 5). Che cosa pensano i media arabi di Barack Obama? Quale sarà la politica estera di Obama nei confronti del mondo arabo? La Regione vede oggi l'Iraq e l'Afghanistan sotto "occupazione americana", la Siria e l'Iran sono indicati come obiettivi possibili di nuove incursioni e i palestinesi continuano a essere spogliati del diritto ad avere una nazione da Israele, alleato protetto da Washington. Obama è figlio di un kenyota, ha passato l'infanzia in un paese musulmano, l'Indonesia, e il suo secondo nome è un nome arabo, Hussein. Può il nuovo presidente americano rappresentare l'interlocutore giusto per il Medio Oriente? Di questo gli arabi e i loro media, dai blog ad Al Jazeera si interrogano in questi mesi. Gli autori di "Un Hussein alla Casa Bianca" analizzano i media arabi, raccolgono le opinioni di giornalisti, studiosi, uomini d'affari e persone comuni in Medio Oriente e in Usa, offrendo una prospettiva sui futuri rapporti tra Stati Uniti e mondo arabo.
