Résumé ou extrait
- La 4e de couv. indique : "What does it mean to be a spectator to war in an era when the boundaries between witnessing and perpetrating violence have become profoundly blurred ? Arguing that the contemporary dynamics of military spectatorship took shape in Napoleonic Europe, the author explores the status of warfare as a spectacle unfolding before a mass audience. By showing that the battlefield was a virtual phenomenon long before the invention of photography, film, or the Internet, he proposes that the unique character of modern conflicts has been a product of imaginary as much as material forces."
