Críticas:

“By casting its eye on the Fukushima nuclear disaster this book develops a fresh understanding of global media events in today’s hybrid media environment. Its analyses are a leap forward thanks to a differentiated consideration of the discursive spaces and emotional dynamics that arise when we are confronted with mediatized catastrophes.” (Andreas Hepp, Professor, University of Bremen, ZeMKI, Germany)

“Human beings look for causality everywhere. We understand the word through association, and turn to media to fill in the links between occurrences, events and meaning. The authors offer a convincing explanation for how hybrid media events invite us to link time and space in making affective sense of worlds close and distant. This is an invaluable addition to research on events, media, and cross-cultural meaning making.” (Zizi Pappacharissi, Professor and Head of the Department of Communication, University of Illinois at Chicago, USA)

Reseña del editor:

This book explores the mediated aftermath and remembrance of the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster through three crucibles: time, space and emotion. Through an ambitious and innovative combination of theoretical and methodological approaches, the book discusses how meanings, emotions and interpretations of disruptive events such as the Fukushima Daiichi disaster circulate and change over time and space in the global, contemporary hybrid media environment. Through its six multi-method empirical case studies from Japanese local newspapers to commemorative Tweets, the volume addresses questions of memory, trauma, expertise and nuclear politics in relation to the three key concepts of the book. The findings of this book provide new insights on research of disruptive media events in the contemporary hybrid media environment.
