‘The movie has to go forward’: surveying the media–security relationship

Pages 46-69 | Received 17 Jun 2016, Published online: 15 Mar 2017
 

ABSTRACT

This essay isolates and explores a growing body of communication scholarship devoted to the relationship between media and security. It begins by reviewing communication’s disciplinary history surrounding this relationship, and recent trends stimulating the convergence of media and security scholarship. It surveys five prominent research programmes offering distinctive images of the media–security relationship: visual securitization, media framing; media materialism; mediatization; and critical-cultural media studies. It then grounds that survey in a case study of media and nuclear weapons that problematizes the communicative status of security technologies. It concludes with a discussion of potential futures for this larger body of work.
