[Commlist] New Book: Discourse, Media and Conflict

New Book: DISCOURSE, MEDIA AND CONFLICT (Cambridge University Press, 2022)
edited by Innocent Chiluwa

"Bringing together contributions from a team of international scholars, 
this pioneering book applies theories and approaches from linguistics, 
such as discourse analysis and pragmatics, to analyse the media and 
online political discourses of both conflict and peace processes. By 
analysing case studies as globally diverse as Germany, the USA, Nigeria, 
Iraq, Korea and Libya, and across a range of genres such as TV news 
channels, online reporting and traditional newspapers, the chapters 
collectively show how news discourse can be powerful in mobilizing 
public support for war or violence, or for conflict resolution, through 
the linguistic representation of certain groups. It explores the 
consequences of this 'framing' effect, and shows how peace journalism 
can be achieved through a non-violent approach to reporting conflict. It 
will therefore serve as an essential resource for students, scholars and 
experts in media and communication studies, conflict and peace studies, 
international relations, linguistics and political science."
