{"product_id":"disappearing-war-christina-hellmich-9781474416566","title":"Disappearing War: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Cinema and Erasure in the Post-9\/11 World","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe battles fought in the name of the 'war on terror' have re-ignited questions about the changing nature of war, and the experience of war for those geographically distant from its real world consequences. What is missing from our highly mediated experience of war? What are the intentional and unintentional processes of erasure through which the distortion happens? What are their consequences? \u003cbr\u003eCinema is a key site at which questions about our highly mediated experience of war can be addressed or, more significantly, elided. Looking at a range of films that have provoked debate, from award-winning features like \u003ci\u003eZero Dark Thirty\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAmerican Sniper\u003c\/i\u003e, to documentaries like \u003ci\u003eKill List\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDirty Wars\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as at the work of visual artists like Harun Farocki and Omer Fast, this book examines the practices of erasure in the cinematic representation of recent military interventions. Drawing on representations of war-related death, dying and bodily damage, this provocative collection addresses 'what's missing' in existing scholarly responses to modern warfare; in film studies, as well as in politics and international relations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christina Hellmich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 147441656X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474416566\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/17\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.20w x 0.70d","brand":"Christina Hellmich","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48458590552319,"sku":"9781474416566","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_14620ae9-b840-4bf0-a569-3b63786cfa16.jpg?v=1777405368","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/disappearing-war-christina-hellmich-9781474416566","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
