本文研究了自叙利亚内战爆发以来通过 YouTube 传播的手机视频，以说明媒体美学和公共话语如何在将冲突视为危机的感知和解释中相互作用。叙利亚内战表明，手机上记录的即时抗议和军事行动场景成为战争和冲突的工具，因为它们具有影响对叙利亚局势的感知和解释的新美学。本文介绍了一种以话语分析和媒体美学为基础的研究视角，可用于研究与社交媒体、特别是手机视频相关的战争和冲突的感知和解释。通过从这个角度为战争和冲突报道研究提供新的见解，它进一步推动了关于图像感知和解释影响的辩论。
This article examines mobile phone videos that have been disseminated via YouTube since the beginning of the Syrian civil war to illustrate how media aesthetics and public discourse interact in the perception and interpretation of conflicts as crises. The Syrian civil war has shown that scenes of immediate protest and military action recorded on mobile phones become instruments of war and conflict as they bear a new aesthetics that influences the perception and interpretation of the situation in Syria. The article introduces a research perspective that is informed by discourse analysis and media aesthetics and can be used for the study of the perception and interpretation of war and conflict in relation to social media in general and mobile phone videos in particular. By providing new insights from this perspective for the study of war and conflict reporting, it furthers the debate on the perceptive and interpretive impact of images.
