Social Tragedy: The Power of Myth, Ritual, and Emotion in the New Media Ecology - Cultural Sociology

A social tragedy is a collective representation of injustice. Baker demonstrates how social tragedies facilitate moral action and discusses a series of contemporary case studies - the death of Princess Diana, Zinedine Zidane's 2006 World Cup scandal, KONY 2012 - to examine their social and political effects.
