Recenzii
"In this fearless piece of critical scholarship, Lisa Parks brings into sharp focus a principle strategy of the US military’s interminable 'war on terror'—namely, its global domination of the 'vertical field.' As Parks’ intricate analysis reveals, this process has both infrastructural and performative dimensions: the staged spectacle of US 'vertical hegemony' has gone hand-in-hand with logistical maneuvering and the physical exercise of military might. Covering a breadth of conceptual territory, Rethinking Media Coverage makes a vital contribution to our understanding of both post-9/11 geopolitics and twenty-first-century media culture." -Kelly Gates, University of California San Diego
"Lisa Parks’ call to rethink how we conceptualize the organized violence of the ‘war on terror’ couldn’t be more timely. A brilliant study that ranges from satellite imaging, airports, drone infrastructure and more, Rethinking Media Coverage is an essential guide to understanding the intersections of militarism, technology, entertainment, and resistance." -Simone Browne, University of Texas at Austin

Descriere
In this book, Lisa Parks develops the concept of vertical mediation to explore how audiovisual cultures enact and infer power relations that exist far beyond the screen. Parks demonstrates how "coverage" makes vertical space intelligible to global publics in new ways and powerfully reveals what is at stake in controlling it.
