Documenting the Documentaries on Abu Ghraib / Mestrovic, Stjepan G. -- Contributors -- IndexBefore 9/11, films addressing torture outside of the horror/slasher genre depicted the practice in a variety of forms. In most cases, torture was cast as the act of a desperate and depraved individual, and the viewer was more likely to identify with the victim rather than the torturer. Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, scenes of brutality and torture in mainstream comedies, dramatic narratives, and action films appear for little other reason than to titillate and delight. In these films, torture is devoid of any redeeming qualities, represented as an exercise in brutal senselessness carried out by authoritarian regimes and institutions.This volume follows the shift in the representation of torture over the past decade, specifically in documentary, action, and political films. It traces and compares the development of this trend in films from the United States, Europe, China, Latin America, South Africa, and the Middle East. Featuring essays by sociologists, psychologists, historians, journalists, and specialists in film and cultural studies, the collection approaches the representation of torture in film and television from multiple angles and disciplines, connecting its aesthetics and practices to the dynamic of state terror and political domination.Torture in motion picturesTorture in motion picturesTorture on televisionTorture on televisionTorture in motion pictures.Torture in motion pictures.Torture on television.Torture on television.791.436352Flynn Michael, 1554878Fernandez Salek Fabiola, DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910785507103321Screening Torture3816436UNINA01208nam0 22003131i 450 UON0007986220231205102425.8808-559-8275-620020107d1998 |0itac50 baengGB|||| |||||ˆA ‰basic guide to evaluation for development workersFrances RubinReprintedOxfordOxfam199894 p.22 cmFondo Ercolessi 40%IT-UONSI OGXIII/062001UON000673922001 Skills and practiceValutazioneSociologiaUONC024330FIGBOxfordUONL000029304.2Fattori influenzanti il comportamento sociale.
