A few months into the popular uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region in 2009/10, the promises of social media, including its ability to influence a participatory governance model, grassroots civic engagement, new social dynamics, inclusive societies and new opportunities for businesses and entrepreneurs, became more evident than ever. Simultaneously, cartography received new considerable interest as it merged with social media platforms. In an attempt to rearticulate the relationship between media and mapping practices, whilst also addressing new and social media, this interdisciplinary book abides by one relatively clear point: space is a media product. The overall focus of this book is accordingly not so much on the role of new technologies and social networks as it is on how media and mapping practices expand the very notion of cultural engagement, political activism, popular protest and social participation.

We live in a world at risk. Dire predictions about our future or the demise of planet earth persist. Even fictional representations depict narratives of decay and the end of a commonly shared social reality. Along with recurring Hollywood blockbusters that imagine the end of the world, there has been a new wave of zombie features as well as independent films that offer various visions of the future. The Apocalypse in Film: Dystopias, Disasters, and Other Visions about the End of the World offers an overview of Armageddon in film from the silent era to the present. This collection of essays discusses how such films reflect social anxieties—ones that are linked to economic, ecological, and cultural factors. Featuring a broad spectrum of international scholars specializing in different historical genres and methodologies, these essays look at a number of films, including the silent classic The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the black comedy Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, the Mayan calendar disaster epic, 2012, and in particular, Lars Von Trier’s Melancholia, the focus of several essays.As some filmmakers translate the anxiety about a changing global climate and geo-political relations into visions of the apocalypse, others articulate worries about the planet’s future by depicting chemical warfare, environmental disasters, or human made destruction. This book analyzes the emergence of apocalyptic and dystopic narratives and explores the political and social situations on which these films are based. Contributing to the dialogue on dystopic culture in war and peace, The Apocalypse in Film will be of interest to scholars in film and media studies, border studies, gender studies, sociology, and political science.

Die Corona-Krise gewinnt durch die digital-mediale Verbreitung eine beunruhigende Präsenz, der sich niemand entziehen kann. Dabei handelt es sich nicht nur um die aktuelle journalistische Berichterstattung, sondern auch um das Netz der digitalen Kommunikationen, die das Virus in verschiedenen ästhetischen Formen repräsentieren und reflektieren. Eine wichtige Rolle spielen dabei die Visualisierungen der Pandemie vom allzeit präsenten Ikon des Virus bis zu den Datengrafiken der Durchseuchung. Mit diesen Mitteln entwickelt sich ein visuelles Regime, das wiederum in die mediale Berichterstattung und die Pandemie-Kommunikation zurückwirkt.Damit reagiert das Buch auf die aktuelle Pandemie und bietet eine breitgefächerte Aufarbeitung der unterschiedlichen medialen Repräsentationen des Virus.Das Buch vertritt einen dezidiert digital-medienwissenschaftlichen Ansatz, der die Medialität des Virus und der kontroversen Diskurse der Pandemie mit ihren komplexen und heterogenen Aspekten dokumentiert und analysiert. Damit unterscheidet es sich signifikant von stärker publizistischen oder soziologisch ausgerichteten Studien.
