{"product_id":"the-film-of-the-islamic-yorck-beese-9783658445546","title":"The Film of the Islamic State: The Cinefication of Jihadi Video","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe film of the so-called Islamic State is part of the still relatively opaque history of radical Sunni Islamist video propaganda, a field in which it is simultaneously its strongest exponent. Through its imports of aesthetics in the age of digitalization and the concurrent de-professionalization of film, this violent propaganda film has interestingly drawn attention for its seeming likeness to Hollywood film, an odd comparison that the Islamic State itself opposes through its own filmic antagonisms to commercial cinema. In an intermittent attempt at attacking cinematic illusionism, it has made increasing use of cinematic devices in order to communicate its violent and anti-humanist ideology - and has thereby entered a state of filmic self-contradiction. This book analyzes and uncovers the mechanisms and dynamics of ideological communication in the Islamic State's videos through a combined historical and neoformalist approach, making them predictable for future researchers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yorck Beese\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3658445548\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783658445546\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer vs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 405\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.94d","brand":"Yorck Beese","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45897838559487,"sku":"9783658445546","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b8070b79-0fec-4c20-b4a5-e592d7d4924d.jpg?v=1721374873","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-film-of-the-islamic-yorck-beese-9783658445546","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
