This book explores the ideas of key thinkers and media practitioners who have examined images and icons of war and terror. Icons of War and Terror explores theories of iconic images of war and terror, not as received pieties but as challenging uncertainties in doing so, it engages with both critical discourse and conventional image-making. The authors draw on these theories to re-investigate the mediaglobal context of some of the most iconic representations of war and terror in the international risk society. Among these photojournalistic images are ullNick Uts Pulitzer Prize winning photograph of a naked girl, Kim Phuc, running burned from a napalm attack in Vietnam in June 1972 lla quintessential ethnic cleansing image of massacred Kosovar Albanian villagers at Racak on January 15, 1999, which finally propelled a hesitant Western alliance into the first of the new humanitarian wars llLuis Simcos photograph of marine James Blake Miller, the Marlboro Man, at Fallujah, Iraq, 2004 llthe iconic toppling of the World Trade Centre towers in New York by planes on September 11, 2001 and the Falling Man icon one of the most controversial images of 911 llthe image of one of the authors of this book, as close-up victim of the 77 terrorist attack on London, which the media quickly labelled iconic.lulThis book will be of great interest to students of media and war, sociology, communications studies, cultural studies, terrorism studies and security studies in general. **

The cinematographers and directors who shot film in wilderness areas at the turn of the 19th century are some of the unsung heroes of documentary film-making. Apart from severe weather conditions, these men and women struggled with heavy and cumbersome equipment in some of the most unforgiving locales on the planet. This groundbreaking study examines nature, wildlife and wilderness filming from all angles. Topics covered include the beginnings of film itself, the first attempts at nature and expedition filming, technical developments of the period involving cameras and lenses, and the role film has played in wilderness preservation. The individual contributions of major figures are discussed throughout, and a filmography lists hundreds of nature films from the period.About the AuthorPalle B. Petterson (Ph.D) is a Danish writer and film enthusiast who has traveled in ninety countries. He is currently at work on a book abut the Danish documentary film director Theodor Christensen.

Author: Emmanuel Bermon
File Type: pdf
This volume sheds a new light on Philosophical Investigations, Ludwig Wittgensteins master opus, by taking a new approach to its first stretch (sections 1-88), with special emphasis on its atypical opening. The methodological conviction that subtends the volume is that the highly unconventional form assumed by the book is internal to its content and crucial to its reconception of the relation between logic and language. This disconcerting form is dictated by the new modes of criticism deployed by Wittgenstein as he engages the philosophical tradition in the new terms afforded by the revolutionary method of language-games. In the essays collected here, seven authors, including some of the most influential figures in the field, offer close and often unorthodox readings of pivotal passages from the beginning of the book. These readings are also shaped by the conviction that the Philosophical Investigations are hardly intelligible apart from an appreciation of the concerns that they inherit from Wittgensteins early work, the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. The authors contend that we need to consider the continuities between the early and the later works if we are to disclose the true discontinuities between them.**** **From the Back Cover This volume sheds a new light onPhilosophical Investigations, Ludwig Wittgensteins master opus, by taking a new approach to its first stretch (sections 1-88), with special emphasis on its atypical opening.

Author: Laura Hein
File Type: pdf
In late 1945 local Japanese turned their energies toward creating new behaviors and institutions that would give young people better skills to combat repression at home and coercion abroad. They rapidly transformed their political culture-policies, institutions, and public opinion-to create a more equitable, democratic and peaceful society. Post-Fascist Japan explores this phenomenon, focusing on a group of highly educated Japanese based in the city of Kamakura, where the new political culture was particularly visible. The book argues that these leftist elites, many of whom had been seen as the enemy during the war, saw the problem as one of fascism, an ideology that had succeeded because it had addressed real problems. They turned their efforts to overtly political-legal systems but also to ostensibly non-political and community institutions such as universities, art museums, local tourism, and environmental policies, aiming not only for reconciliation over the past but also to reduce the anxieties that had drawn so many towards fascism. By focusing on people who had an outsized influence on Japans political culture, Heins study is local, national, and transnational. She grounds her discussion using specific personalities, showing their ideas about post-fascism, how they implemented them and how they interacted with the American occupiers.**ReviewMeticulously researched and elegantly written, this fascinating study explores what it means to reconstruct an entirely new postwar civic culture out of the ruins of Japans imperial adventurism--this time, notably based in the storied seaside town of Kamakura, outside of the now-tainted political and cultural capital of Tokyo. Hein captures the heady emotions of an era where self-reflection and institution-building by formerly leftwing Japanese intellectuals supposedly led to increasing levels of humanistic freedom to atone and make amends for a wartime fascist political culture. Annika A. Culver, Associate Professor of East Asian History, Florida State University, USA In the wake of Japans defeat in the Pacific War, a wide ranging network of intellectuals based in and around the town of Kamakura shared hopes for new democratic society, and attempted to put those hopes into practice. In rediscovering the wartime experiences and postwar ideals and actions of this network, Post-Fascist Japan casts vital new light on the history of Japans postwar democratization. This fascinating book is not only essential reading for all those with an interest in Japans intellectual history, but also conveys a powerful message about dilemmas of war memory and democracy in Japan today. Tessa Morris-Suzuki, Professor of Japanese History, The Australian National University, Australia About the Author Laura Hein is Professor of History at Northwestern University, USA. She is the author of Reasonable Men, Powerful Words Political Culture and Expertise in 20th Century Japan (2004) and co-editor of Imagination Without Borders Visual Artist Tomiyama Taeko and Social Responsibility (2010).
