Caracteristici
Updates the genre of the war film by discussing how the integration of Internet-enabled technologies has changed aspects of the genre, specifically the construction of the enemy, the soldier and combat Discusses a number of films that have received little scholarly attention, including a number of films only recently released Constructs and analyzes the different filmic techniques used to portray a militarized Internet and argues what those interfaces and uses encourage in a movie watcher Encourages a critical understanding of “real life” modern warfare and its technologies as reflected in the analyzed films Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
