"This collection considers how digital images and social media reconfigure the way conflicts are played out, represented and perceived around the globe. Devoted to developing original theoretical frameworks and empirical insights, the volume addresses the role of user images and social media in relation to urgent subjects such as public opinion and emotion, solidarity, evidence and verification, censorship and fake news, which are all central to the ways current conflicts are represented and unfold. Essays include a unique range of case studies from different regional and political contexts (Middle East, Europe, Asia, North America) and in connection with different conflict types (war, terror, riots, everyday resistance, etc.). They also consider performative genres such as memes, selfies and appropriations as well as images conforming to the realism and authenticity of conventional photojournalism. In this way, the collection responds to the challenges of swiftly evolving image genres as well as to the continually shifting policies and algorithms of commercial digital platforms. Together, the essays offer innovative theories and exemplary case studies as a resource for teaching and research in media, journalism and communication programs. It is also relevant to students, teachers and researchers within sociology, political science, anthropology, and related fields"-- Social media Research. 10198 Digital images Social aspects. 10199 Conflict of interests. 10200 Emotions Social aspects. 10201 Mortensen, Mette, 1971- editor. 10202 McCrow-Young, Ally, editor. 10203 Online version: Social media images and conflicts London ; New York : Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group, 2023 9781003176923 (DLC) 2022020804 7 cbc orignew 1 ecip 20 y-gencatlg lcc BK rm06 2022-05-09 rm06 2022-05-09 xn18 2023-05-09 1 copy rec'd., to CIP ver. 6300 6300 0 0 lcc 0 HM0742 S62819633 02023 0 9633 JINJA JINJA NEW 2026-09-19 Purchase HM742 .S62819633 2023 2026-2365 2026-09-19 c1 2026-09-19 BK Item available in hard copy
