Risk, Media and Identity in Kosovo: Local/Global Trends in Democratization

在冷战后的新全球秩序中，公开的冲突和各国人民面临的日常风险一直是地方性的。在科索沃、波斯尼亚、东帝汶、阿富汗和许多非洲国家最近和当前的历史中，出现了一些人所说的军事人道主义，随后出现了民主改革和人性复兴。这个项目将以媒体和大众文化为重点，将科索沃作为民主改革和复兴的案例研究。它将以文化和风险理论为核心，研究新的新闻培训、地方广播电台的扩张、宗教朝圣/旅游以及媒体对当今科索沃暴力和风险记忆的报道。

In the new, post-Cold War global order, overt conflict and everyday risk for national populations has been endemic. What some call military humanism, followed by democratic reform and human renewal have marked the recent and current histories of Kosovo, Bosnia, East Timor, Afghanistan and various African states. Focussing on media and popular culture, this project will take Kosovo as a case study of democratic reform and renewal. Drawing centrally on cultural and risk theory, it will examine new journalism training, the expansion of local radio, religious pilgrimage/tourism, and media coverage of memories of violence and risk in today's Kosovo.
