The Emotions of Internationalism
"By examining a broad range of individuals and institutions engaged in international cooperation in the Alps in the 1920s and 1930s, this book explains how internationalists constructed and used emotions to attain their goals. It undertakes a journey through the most diverse terrains and venues, from the international art exhibitions and congresses organized by the Union Internationale des Associations d'Alpinisme (also known as UIAA, or the International Mountaineering and Climbing Federation), to the summer camps and schools run by transnational bodies such as the League for Open-Air Education, to the international sanatoria for students, workers, and soldiers healing from tuberculosis in ...

Gonzo Governance
Drawing on social science and communications theory, Gonzo Governance offers a new interpretation of presidential power that shifts focus to the media dynamics that surrounded Donald Trump. The former president’s unhinged behavior and skilled media and digital manipulations changed the nature and process of significant governance at the federal and state levels, including denying election results and restricting voting opportunities. He went "Gonzo" – promoting himself without regard for conventional norms and practices – and blasted ideological fault lines into explosive political fragments, resulting in so much dissensus that numerous legislators would not recognize the newly elected...
Discourse, Politics and Media in Contemporary China
After three and a half decades of economic reforms, radical changes have occurred in all aspects of life in China. In an authoritarian society, these changes are mediated significantly through the power of language, carefully controlled by the political elites. Discourse, as a way of speaking and doing things, has become an indispensable instrument for the authority to manage a fluid, increasingly fragmented, but highly dynamic and yet fragile society. Written by an international team of leading scholars, this volume examines socio-political transformations of contemporary Chinese society through a systematic account, analysis and assessment of its salient discourses and their production, circulation, negotiation, and consequences. In particular, the volume focuses on the interplay of politics and media. The book’s intended readership is academics and students of Chinese studies, language and discourse, and media and communication studies.
The Palgrave Handbook of the Philosophy of Film and Motion Pictures
This handbook brings together essays in the philosophy of film and motion pictures from authorities across the spectrum. It boasts contributions from philosophers and film theorists alike, with many essays employing pluralist approaches to this interdisciplinary subject. Core areas treated include film ontology, film structure, psychology, authorship, narrative, and viewer emotion. Emerging areas of interest, including virtual reality, video games, and nonfictional and autobiographical film also have dedicated chapters. Other areas of focus include the film medium’s intersection with contemporary social issues, film’s kinship to other art forms, and the influence of historically seminal schools of thought in the philosophy of film. Of emphasis in many of the essays is the relationship and overlap of analytic and continental perspectives in this subject.
Routledge International Handbook of Emotions and Media
In times of a worldwide pandemic, the election of a new US president, "MeToo," and "Fridays for Future," to name but a few examples, one thing becomes palpable: the emotional impact of media on individuals and society cannot be underestimated.

Emotions are essential in understanding how media messages are processed and how media affect individual and social behavior as well as public social life. Adopting a thoroughly interdisciplinary approach to the study of emotions in the context of media, the second, entirely revised and updated, edition of Routledge International Handbook of Emotions and Med...

Soziologie Visueller Kommunikation
Die Relevanz visueller Kommunikation in der Gegenwartsgesellschaft steht außer Frage. Im Zuge von Modernisierungsprozessen wie der Industrialisierung, der Entwicklung technischer Bildmedien oder der Computerisierung werden Artefakte und ihre visuellen Bedeutungen in sämtlichen Gesellschaftsbereichen wichtiger. Trotz der Forderung eines „visual“, „iconic“ oder „pictorial turn“ fehlt es bislang weitgehend an Entwürfen einer allgemeinen Soziologie, die die Komplexität der Fachwissenschaft sowie die Komplexität des Gestalteten zum Ausgangspunkt ihrer Perspektiven machen. Der Autor PD Dr. York Kautt lehrt und forscht am Institut für Soziologie der Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen. Seine Schwerpunkte sind Theorie und Analyse visueller Kommunikation, Sozialökologie, Food-Studies, qualitative Sozialforschung, Medien- und Kultursoziologie.
