Reviews for Intensive Media
'McCosker's book is a very interesting read with its focus on pain images as forms of mediation aimed at appealing to a shared human vulnerability, on the affective and political complexity of pain images, and on the development of concepts to describe more-than-representational forms of communication.' - Carsten Stage, Journal of Media and Communication Research
