Abstract

Concern about violence on television has been publicly debated for the past 50 years. TV violence has repeatedly been identified as a significant causal agent in relation to the prevalence of crime and violence in society. Critics have accused the medium of presenting excessive quantities of violence, to the point where it is virtually impossible for viewers to avoid it. This book presents the findings of the largest British study of violence on TV ever undertaken, funded by the broadcasting industry. The study was carried out at the same time as similar industry-sponsored research wa

Abstract

Le massacre de l'École polytechnique à Montréal en 1989 ou bien encore le meurtre de la jeune Marie-Eve Larivière en 1992 ont fait rebondir le débat sur la violence à la télévision au Canada. Plus d'un million de personnes ont signé, à la suite de ce dernier drame, une pétition réclamant un renforcement du contrôle du contenu des programmes. Quelques faits sordides et sanglants ont eu le même impact sur une société américaine déjà ébranlée par les émeutes de Los Angeles et le revisionnement incessant de lynchages en direct, qu'il s'agisse de l'assassinat de touristes européens en Floride ou du meurtre gratuit du père de Michael Jordan par deux adolescents en Géorgie. Un débat identique se déroule alors aux États-Unis où, au début du mois d'août 1993, producteurs et directeurs de chaînes réunis à Los Angeles tentent d'élaborer un code de bonne conduite visant à réduire l'omniprésence de la violence sur les écrans de télévision américains. En France, le CSA adresse régulièrement des mises en garde aux chaînes, y compris publiques, contre les dérives de la programmation en ce qui concerne la violence et la sexualité.

Abstract

This book undertakes a concentrated study of the impact of degraded and low-quality imagery in contemporary cinema and real-world portrayals of violence. Through a series of case studies, the book explores examples of corrupted digital imagery that range from mainstream cinema portrayals of drone warfare and infantry killing, through to real-world recordings of terrorist attacks and executions, as well as perpetrator-created murder videos live-streamed on the internet. Despite post-modernist concerns of cultural inurement during the seminal period of digitalized and virtualized killing in the 1990s, real-world reactions to violent media indicate that our culture is anything but desensitized to these media depictions. Against such a background, this book is a concentrated study of how these images are created and circulated in the contemporary media landscape and how the effect and affect of violent material is impacted by the low-resolution aesthetic. Stuart Marshall Bender is an Early Career Research Fellow at Curtin University, Australia, exploring the digital aesthetics of violence. A scholar and filmmaker, he has published work in The Journal of Popular Film & Television, M/C Journal, First Monday and had films screened in competition at a range of international festivals.

Abstract

"Concentrationary Memories has, as its premise , the idea at the heart of Alain Resnais's film Night and Fog (1955) that the concentrationary plague unleashed on the world by the Nazis in the 1930s and 1940s is not simply confined to one place and one time but is now a permanent presence shadowing modern life. It further suggests that memory (and, indeed art in general) must be invoked to show this haunting of the present by this menacing past so that we can read for the signs of terror and counter its deformation of the human. Through working with political and cultural theory on readings of film, art, photographic and literary practices, Concentrationary Memories analyses different cultural responses to concentrationary terror in different sites in the post-war period, ranging from Auschwitz to Argentina. These readings show how those involved in the cultural production of memories of the horror of totalitarianism sought to find forms, languages and image systems which could make sense of and resist the post-war condition in which, as Hannah Arendt famously stated 'everything is possible' and 'human beings as human beings become superfluous.' Authors include Nicholas Chare, Isabelle de le Court, Thomas Elsaesser, Benjamin Hannavy Cousen, Matthew John, Claire Launchbury, Sylvie Lindeperg, Laura Malosetti Costa, Griselda Pollock, Max Silverman, Glenn Sujo, Annette Wieviorka and John Wolfe Ackerman."--
