"Exploring the concept of individual and collective transformation as the underlying driver for media pedagogy, this book offers valuable insights and practical strategies for implementing transformative media pedagogies across learning environments and civic ecosystems. Each chapter takes the form of critical and reflective writing on specific processes and practices that emerged from contributors' experiences of participating in the Salzburg Academy on Media and Global Change, an experimental and immersive transformational media pedagogy project born in 2007, and continuing to this day. Together, contributors examine media pedagogies that prioritize value constructions like human connection, care, imagination and agency, all of which collectively support a transformative approach to learning. While this book takes into account media pedagogies that focus on competencies and skills, its priority is to reveal and offer learning pathways that develop media makers and storytellers focused on positive social impact in the world. This book will be of interest to any media educators, researchers, practitioners, and entrepreneurs seeking to implement transformative media pedagogies that support equitable and just civic futures"--

In books such as The Aesthetics of Disappearance, War and Cinema, The Lost Dimension, and The Vision Machine, Paul Virilio has fundamentally changed how we think about contemporary media culture. Virilio's examinations of the connections between perception, logistics, the city, and new media technologies comprise some of the most powerful texts within his hypermodern philosophy. Virilio and the Mediapresents an introduction to Virilio's important media related ideas, from polar inertia and the accident to the landscape of events, cities of panic, and the instrumental image loop of television. John Armitage positions Virilio's essential media texts in their theoretical contexts whilst outlining their substantial influence on recent cultural thinking. Consequently, Armitage renders Virilio's media texts accessible, priming his readers to create individual critical evaluations of Virilio's writings. The book closes with an annotated and user-friendly Guide to Further Reading and a non-technical Glossary of Virilio's significant concepts. Virilio's texts on the media are vital for everyone concerned with contemporary media culture, and Virilio and the Mediaoffers a comprehensive and up to date introduction to the ever expanding range of his critical media and cultural works.

A review essay on books by (1) James Der Derian, Virtuous War: Mapping the Military-Industrial-Media-Entertainment Network, (Oxford/Boulder, CO: Westview, 2001); (2) Philip Hammond & Edward S. Herman [Eds], Degraded Capability: The Media and the Kosovo Crisis (London: Pluto, 2000); & (3) Paul Virilio, Strategy of Deception (London: Verso, 2000). NATO's campaign in Kosovo in 1999 has given rise to much rumination on the so-called "virtualization" of conflict, in which new technologies have rendered war a distanced & de-realized experience -- both for those watching at a distance & for those engaged in "remote violence." This article takes three new volumes dealing with technologization & "mediation" of conflict as a point of departure for considering recent critiques of the transformation of war in the 21st century. The author urges a more thoroughly historicized appreciation of war & its representation, questioning the extent to which conflict has in fact been transformed in an age of "virtual" technology & "virtuous" motivations.
