Beschreibung:
DANIEL LEONARD BERNARDI is professor and chair of the Cinema Department at San Francisco State University. He is the author of Star Trek and History: Race-ing Toward a White Future and the editor of Filming Difference: Actors, Directors, Producers and Writers on Gender, Race and Sexuality in Film, among several other books. His research explores the representation and narration of cultural difference, including race, gender, and sexuality, in media and popular culture.
Explores how rumours fit into and extend narrative systems and ideologies, particularly in the context of terrorism, counter-terrorism, and extremist insurgencies. It also addresses the role of new and social media in the creation and spread of rumours. Its concern is to foster a more sophisticated understanding of how oral and digital cultures work alongside economic, diplomatic, and cultural factors that influence the struggles between states and non-state actors in the proverbial battle of hearts and minds.
