‘From mainstream news coverage of conflict to the use of close-ups in
The Master, this searching edited collection explores the dialectic between
the seen and the unseal in.the cont§mpoiarywatfil.m ? The contributors
tackle the question of Whetherthe-ffwhachchancrgslo war and the
representation of war - via embedded repomnbrdrohes. virtual reality and
so on - constitute a deep ideological erSsnrerThSir insights are intellectually
and ethically illuminating and advance our understanding of the cultural
imagination of war in importanfrways.’ . ___________s
Guy Westwell, QMUL
The battles fought in the name of the ‘war on terror’ have re-ignited
questions about the changing nature and experience of war. For those
geographically distant from these conflict zones, often the only means of
knowing and understanding war is through the media. But what is missing
from the mediated experience of war that film, television and the internet
provide? What are the intentional and unintentional processes of erasure
that shape this experience, and what are their consequences?
Cinema is a key site for such questions. Examining a range of films that
have provoked debate, from award-winning features such as Zero Dark
Thirty and American Sniper, to documentaries such as Kill List and Dirty
Wars, alongside the work of visual artists like Harun Farocki and Omer
Fast, this book maps the practices of erasure that have marked the
cultural representation of military interventions connected to the ‘war on
terror’. In doing so, this interdisciplinary collection represents an important
intervention into contemporary debates about the intersection of war and
politics, cinema and the media.
Christina Hellmich is Associate Professor in IR Middle East Studies
and Lisa Purse is Associate Professor of Film in the Department of Film,
