The Visual Politics of Wars

This collection, part of a series entitled Visual Reporting on War Terror, presents some of the key approaches to war reporting and suggests trajectories for further critical research into media visualisation of con?ict. Ever since the Vietnam War, media globalisation has made conflict a part of everyone’s life in the modern world. This is where war reporters play the crucial role of mediators, to bring us stories covering the various dimensions of war from some of the most vulnerable places on Earth. This volume will explore the visual culture of conflict, specifically the war on terror that is grounded in the conceptual claim that images are central to contemporary geopolitics.
