内容説明
A global study of the media's reporting on the Gulf War, which includes studies from 18 countries. The theme throughout the book is the triumph of image over reality and reason and, in particular, how truth is often one of the first casualties of war. The studies suggest that what was witnessed during the Persian Gulf campaign was not the war itself, but rather carefully orchestrated imagery which conveyed the triumph of the allied forces over their Iraqi aggressors. The international authors explore the social, economic and political context of media coverage in their own countries, how one image dominated in most of these countries, and the struggle to gain alternative perspectives. The contributors include Noam Chomsky and Richard Falk.

内容説明
THE TRIUMPH OF IMAGE over reality and reason is the theme of this book. New communication technologies have made possible the transportation of images and words in real time to hundreds of millions of people around the world. We thought we witnessed the Gulf War as we sat, mesmerized by the imagery. But the studies from the many countries assembled for this book suggest that it was not the war in the Persian Gulf that we witnessed but rather imagery orchestrated to convey a sense of triumph and thus to achieve results that reality and reason could never have achieved. The book offers contributions from thirty-five authors in eighteen countries, including short samplings from the media of several regions. The authors explore the social, economic, and political context of media coverage in their countries, the domination of one image in most of them, and the struggle for alternative perspectives. The authors probe the dynamics of image-making and pose some challenges for the future as well as provide us with a unique glimpse of how the world outside of the United States (as well as many Americans) viewed the war in the Persian Gulf and how the dynamics of image-making and information control operate. Triumph of the Image will be useful to scholars and students in communications and mass media, international relations, political science, cultural studies, propaganda, censorship, and contemporary history as well as to the general public.
