The Propaganda of Peace : The Role of Media and Culture in the Northern Ireland Peace Process Paperback / softback
by Greg McLaughlin, Stephen (Ulster University) Baker
Paperback / softback
Description
When political opponents Ian Paisley and Martin McGuiness were confirmed as First Minister and Deputy First Minister of a new Northern Ireland executive in May 2007, a chapter was closed on Northern Ireland’s troubled past.
A dramatic realignment of politics had brought these irreconcilable enemies together – and the media played a significant role in persuading the public to accept this startling change.
The Propaganda of Peace places their role in a wider cultural context and examines a broad range of factual and fictional representations, from journalism and public museum exhibitions to film, television drama and situation comedy.
The authors propose a radically different theoretical and methodological approach to the media’s role in reporting and representing.
They ask whether the ‘propaganda of peace’ actually promotes the abandonment of a politically engaged public sphere at the very moment when public debate about neo-liberalism, financial meltdown and social and economic inequality make it most necessary.
