Description

Theorising Media and Conflict brings together anthropologists as well as 
media and communication scholars to collectively address the elusive and 
complex relationship between media and conflict. Through epistemological 
and methodological reflections and the analyses of various case studies 
from around the globe, this volume provides evidence for the 
co-constitutiveness of media and conflict and contributes to their 
consolidation as a distinct area of scholarship.
