Lilie Chouliaraki: Local suffering-global power: Hierarchies of place and human life in the media

This talk is about the symbolic power of television to make western spectators care about -or not- distant suffering. Looking into examples from national and trans-national television, Professor Lilie Chouliaraki show that news broadcasts draw selectively on the symbolic resources of language and image in order to bring suffering on our screens and, in so doing, they create specific hierarchies of place and human life.
