[Commlist] IJoC Publishes a Special Section on Encounters Between Violence and Media

International Journal of Communication Publishes a Special Section on
Encounters Between Violence and Media


Guest-edited by Anu A. Harju and Noora Kotilainen, this Special Section on
Encounters Between Violence and Media offers new approaches on encounters
between violence and media and how these are circulated, negotiated or
contested, or altogether rejected. The Section brings together scholars from
media and communication studies, social sciences, as well as the humanities,
with contributions ranging from interrogations of the more visible and often
spectacularized violence to the more invisible violence, for example,
gendered violence and violence against marginalized groups. Drawing on the
philosophical notion of recognition, the articles in this collection examine
what kinds of frames of recognition are assigned to victims of violence, to
perpetrators of violent acts, or indeed to different types of violence and
injury. Thus, problematizing regimes of visibility as regimes of power, the
authors ask in what ways are the different forms of violence obscured or
absent from the media, but also which types of violence gain hypervisibility
and what implications this has for recognition, on the one hand, and
marginalization, on the other. With this collection, we ask what happens to
conditions for recognition in the context of violence, suffering, and death
when recognition's mutuality and relationality are altered through mediation
and distance? Or indeed, what potential for recognition might lie in our
collective existence when faced with violence, given that the roots of
recognition are social and embedded in communal life?

With this thematic issue, we bring into the discussion of recognition
real-life perspectives on violence in contemporary media contexts. The
collection highlights the need to focus on the recognition of suffering and
violence experienced by those often existing on the social margins. We 
invite you to read these articles that published in the International
Journal of Communication on February 6, 2023. Please log into ijoc.org to
read the papers of interest. We look forward to your feedback!
