Militainment, Inc. (eBook, ePUB)

War, Media, and Popular Culture

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Militainment, Inc. offers provocative, sometimes disturbing insight into the ways that war is presented and viewed as entertainment-or "militainment"-in contemporary American popular culture. War has been the subject of entertainment for centuries, but Roger Stahl argues that a new interactive mode of militarized entertainment is recruiting its audience as virtual-citizen soldiers.
