Produktbeskrivning
It has a fresh vision and answer to some of the stickiest moral and media problems of our time… and deserves to find its place among important books about the moral aspects of media and society in our times'' - John D Peters, F. Wendell Miller Distinguished Professor, University of Iowa
`Lilie Chouliaraki grounds her sophisticated arguments in meticulous research.
The result is a work of important scholarship that might even make us think about the world and its mediation in profoundly new ways'' - Roger Silverstone, Professor of Media and Communications, The London School of Economics and Political Science
`Few intellectuals command this scope from classical rhetoric to the cutting edge of contemporary social theory as [Lillie Chouliaraki] is doing in her new book The Spectatorship of Suffering.
This book is destined, in my mind, to be foundational for our understanding of not just the media but of the highly complex social process of mediation'' - Ron Scollon, Professor of Linguistics, Georgetown University
This book is about the relationship between the spectators in countries of the west, and the distant sufferer on the television screen; the sufferer in Somalia, Nigeria, Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, but also from New York and Washington DC.
How do we relate to television images of the distant sufferer? This question touches on the ethical role of the media in public life today. It addresses the issue of whether the media can cultivate a disposition of care for and engagement with the far away other; whether television can create a global public with a sense of social responsibililty towards the distant sufferer.
