What images arise instead from the humanitarianism and diplomacy fields? How are these competing perspectives communicated to the public via mass media? Zooming in on the case of Darfur, Joachim J. Savelsberg analyzes more than three thousand news reports and opinion pieces and interviews leading newspaper correspondents, NGO experts, and foreign ministry officials from eight countries to show the dramatic differences in the framing of mass violence around the world and across social fields. Representing Mass Violence contributes to our understanding of how the world acknowledges and responds to violence in the Global South UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9780520963085?locatt=mode:legacy UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9780520963085 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9780520963085/original ER -
