But in the eyes of many the camel is a creature of great beauty. This is most evident in the Arab world, where the camel has played a central role in the historical development of Arabic society-where an elaborate vocabulary and extensive literature have been devoted to it. In Camel, Robert Irwin explores why the camel has fascinated so many cultures, including those cultivated in locales where camels are not indigenous 410 0$aAnimal (Reaktion Books) 606 $aCamels 606 $aCamels$xHistory 615 0$aCamels. 615 0$aCamels$xHistory. 676 $a599.736 676 $a636.295 700 $aIrwin$b Robert$0601390 701 $aBurt$b Jonathan$01516474 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784904803321 996 $aCamel$93752965 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04974nam 2200661 450 001 9910818464003321 005 20230126212621.0 010 $a0-292-77135-5 024 7 $a10.7560/771345 035 $a(CKB)3710000000331737 035 $a(EBL)3571833 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001422241 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12587950 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001422241 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11424509 035 $a(PQKB)11484972 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3571833 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3571833 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11010519 035 $a(OCoLC)899987700 035 $a(DE-B1597)587596 035 $a(OCoLC)1280944828 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780292771352 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000331737 100 $a20150203h20152015 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aFlood of images $emedia, memory, and Hurricane Katrina /$fBernie Cook 205 $aFirst edition. 210 1$aAustin, Texas :$cUniversity of Texas Press,$d2015. 210 4$dİ2015 215 $a1 online resource (431 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-292-77134-7 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $a""Preface""; ""Acknowledgments""; ""Introduction.

The twenty-four-hour news cycle created a surplus of representation that overwhelmed viewers and complicated understandings of the storm, the flood, and the aftermath. As time passed, documentary and fictional filmmakers took up the challenge of explaining what had happened in New Orleans, reaching beyond news reports to portray the lived experiences of survivors of Katrina. But while these narratives presented alternative understandings and more opportunities for empathy than TV news, Katrina remained a mediated experience. In Flood of Images, Bernie Cook offers the most in-depth, wide-ranging, and carefully argued analysis of the mediation and meanings of Katrina. He engages in innovative, close, and comparative visual readings of news coverage on CNN, Fox News, and NBC; documentaries including Spike Lee?s When the Levees Broke and If God Is Willing and Da Creek Don?t Rise, Tia Lessin and Carl Deal?s Trouble the Water, and Dawn Logsdon and Lolis Elie?s Faubourg Treme; and the HBO drama Treme. Cook examines the production practices that shaped Katrina-as-media-event, exploring how those choices structured the possible memories and meanings of Katrina and how the media?s memory-making has been contested. In Flood of Images, Cook intervenes in the ongoing process of remembering and understanding Katrina. 606 $aHurricane Katrina, 2005$xPress coverage 606 $aMass media$xObjectivity$zUnited States 606 $aHurricane Katrina, 2005$xSocial aspects 607 $aUnited States$xSocial conditions$y21st century 615 0$aHurricane Katrina, 2005$xPress coverage. 615 0$aMass media$xObjectivity 615 0$aHurricane Katrina, 2005$xSocial aspects. 676 $a976/.044 700 $aCook$b Bernie$f1968-$01635373 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818464003321 996 $aFlood of images$93984345 997 $aUNINA
