Abstract

How is ‘crisis’, one of the most resonating words in the modern world, related to the mass media? Is crisis independent of the discourse practices of media text and talk? This book is a collection of studies that brings together current research into the ways in which crisis is constructed and communicated in contemporary media discourse. Studies in this book advance our understanding of crises as social events that are discursively constructed, performed, responded to, but also ‘rehearsed’ as a form of social practice. Relying on the application of techniques of discourse analysis and critical discourse analysis (CDA), including visual analysis, the book provides a wealth of empirical evidence on how crisis is mediated across a range of written, oral and visual media. The book will be of interest to students and scholars of media, who combine an interest in discourse analysis with disciplines as diverse as media and cultural studies, political communication, and sociology. -- from website

Abstract

"Crisis and Criticism is a series of interventions from 2009 to 2021 engaging with the literary, cultural and political responses to the capitalist crisis of 2007-8. Challenging the tendency to treat crisis as natural and beyond human control, this book interrogates our cultural understanding of crisis and suggests the necessity of ruthless criticism of the existing world. While responses to crisis have retreated from the critical, choosing to inhabit apocalyptic fantasies instead, only a critical understanding of the causes of crisis within capitalism itself can promise their eventual overcoming"--

Abstract

(Un)timely Crises explores how 'crisis'--as a narrative, concept, grammar, and experience--structures time and space. This collectively written volume extends Bakhtin's 'chronotope' to challenge mobilizations of crisis within neoliberal governmentality. The book explores how contemporary crises can trigger memories and traumas of earlier events as well as foster practices of resistance and alternative visions of the future. Drawing from across disciplines and geographical contexts, (Un)timely Crises reimagines the relation of 'crisis' with 'critique', proposing future trajectories for thinking and living in and through crisis.

Abstract

"This edited volume offers a global overview that impact the COVID-19 pandemic, and other significant crises, have had on media industries and how they've responded. With accounts from the frontlines of local and national film, television, streaming and social media industries, this book provides a stakeholder framework, management lessons, and urgent commentaries to unpack the nature of crisis management and communication. The text examines how these industries have not only survived, but often thrived amongst a backdrop of critical national and regional emergencies, wars, financial meltdowns, and climate disasters. This international collection - featuring case studies from sixteen countries - examines how media industries managed all of these crises, successfully rebranding themselves as 'essential' while making power plays in politics, economics, and culture. The text reveals key lessons for the meltdowns, tectonic shifts and struggles ahead. This collection will be of interest to media and communication students, particularly those focused on the media industries and practices, and crisis communication and management, as well as those working in the media industries"--

Abstract

Le présent ouvrage s'attache à examiner les tendances communicationnelles à l'ère des bad buzz, des situations de communication sensible et des polémiques dans les médias socionumériques. L'auteur analyse les facteurs déclencheurs de ces crises de même que leurs foyers de développement et leurs mécanismes de diffusion. Il étudie également les stratégies de réaction que les entreprises élaborent pour y faire face. Quelles erreurs ces organisations ont-elles commises, et quels échecs ont-elles subis ? Quelles ont été les pratiques et les approches optimales ? Le livre, in fine, offre une réflexion sur ce qu'est la rhétorique du Web social.

Abstract

This collection interrogates the representation of humanitarian crisis, catastrophe and care. Contributors explore the refraction of humanitarian intervention from the mid-twentieth century to the present across a diverse range of media forms, including screen media (film, television and online video), newspapers, memoirs, music festivals and social media platforms (notably Facebook, YouTube and Flickr). Examining the historical, cultural and political contexts that have shaped the mediation of humanitarian relationships since the middle of the twentieth century, the book reveals significant synergies between the humanitarian enterprise the endeavour to alleviate the suffering of particular groups - and its media representations, particularly in their modes of addressing and appealing to specific publics.
