| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project examined the inter-subjective relationship between war and media. The research lead to a deep understanding of the various political-economic practices, techniques and process that lead to the administration of Discreet War. I accomplished this by focusing on the various ways conflict is transformed into a mediated process which in turn, incites a contradictory process of greater opacity in power while a need to create higher degrees of transparency in private life. As such this research project addressed the increasing propensity of opacity in Western media coverage political violence that takes place Western nation states. This phenomenon, I discovered has led to an increasing erosion of the distinction/line between notions of public space and private space. Thus, my field research was in essence an exploration the porous institutional boundaries between social media, data mining and national security.
