Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book offers a theoretical framework for examining bodily vulnerability in modern media culture, supported by empirical case studies on online war commemoration, protest strategies, and illness blogging. It delves into the interplay between global media, affect theory, and the body, positioning it as a tool for biopolitical protest. Through these analyses, the authors highlight how media shapes our understanding of vulnerability and activism in contemporary society.
