Visions of Total War; Conclusion: Old Wars, New Wars; NotesWhat does it mean to be a spectator to war in an era when the boundaries between witnessing and perpetrating violence have become profoundly blurred? Arguing that the contemporary dynamics of military spectatorship took shape in Napoleonic Europe, Watching War explores the status of warfare as a spectacle unfolding before a mass audience. By showing that the battlefield was a virtual phenomenon long before the invention of photography, film, or the Internet, this book proposes that the unique character of modern conflicts has been a product of imaginary as much as material forces.<Mass media -- AudiencesWar in literatureWar in mass mediaWar in literatureAudiencesWar in mass mediaMass mediaLanguages & LiteraturesHILCCLiterature - GeneralHILCCMass media -- Audiences.War in literature.War in mass media.War in literatureAudiencesWar in mass mediaMass mediaLanguages & LiteraturesLiterature - General303.6/609303.66Mieszkowski Jan1507122AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910785558703321Watching War3737602UNINA
