Description
Visualizing War Emotions, Technologies, Communities by Anders Engberg-Pedersen and Kathrin Maurer explores the role of images in representing war and its impact on emotions. From maps to digital screens, images have played a central part in depicting combat, military strategy, soldiers, and victims, evoking a range of reactions. This book examines the emotional language of war images, their connection to visual technologies, and how they build emotional communities. It engages with disciplines such as visual studies, literary studies, and media studies to provide a comprehensive overview of war images from 1800 until today. The authors offer a nuanced understanding of the nature and workings of war images, providing a framework for thinking about the meaning of contemporary war images.
