Navigating war, dissent and empathy in Arab/U.S relationsseeing our others in darkened spaces /[electronic resource] :by Osman Latiff. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2021. - xv, 160 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Introduction Considering Adorno, Giroux and the Search for Empathy in War -- The Case of Alyssa Peterson Finding Empathy in The Cage -- Distance as othering US images of conflict inside and outside the homeland -- Landscaping Otherness and challenging frames of nothingness in contemporary Palestine -- The Mahmudiyah Killings and the framing of Abeer -- Syncretic Modes in Imagined Mourning These are Our Deaths.

This book focuses on American political discourse connected to war, dissent, and empathy. Through interdisciplinary methods of history, politics and media studies, the book examines ways in which American self-identity alters as a consequence of media portrayal of human suffering and of its existential others. It compares representations of the Iraq wars to earlier precedents and looks at the work of American activists, assessing how narratives and images of human suffering in new media iconography generate empathic attitudes towards others. This comparative, multimodal study helps to explain shifting self-identities within the U.S, and relationally through the representation of the Arab other presenting an original and historicised contribution to the media-war field of academic and public debate. The book underscores empathy as a vibrant category of analysis that expands how we think about West-Arab relations, revealing how understanding the cultural aspects of this conflictual interrelationship needs to be broadened.
