The Visualising War project’s first major publication is an edited volume of specially commissioned chapters, entitled Visualising War across the Ancient Mediterranean: Interplay between Conflict Narratives in Different Media and Genres. Published by Routledge in 2025, this volume offers novel readings of ancient conflict narratives from around the ancient Mediterranean world and explores their impact(s) on later habits of understanding and representing war, with an innovative methodological focus on narrative interplay and visualisation.

Alice König is overseeing a second collaborative publication, looking at the impact that different media have had (and continue to have) on habits of visualising war and peace. Whereas the first Visualising War volume involves academics from a range of Humanities disciplines, this second publication involves a combination of academic contributors and professional storytellers with expertise in art, music, theatre, film, journalism, museum curation, video gaming and photography (among other creative industries). 

Members of the research group continue to publish individually too; details can be found on their staff pages.

The Visualising War research group is developing a growing portfolio of outreach and public engagement activities. We are particularly keen to hear from theatre, film and documentary makers, artists and illustrators, online war game designers, museum curators, journalists, peace activists and military professionals who may be interested in collaborating with the project.

The Visualising War podcast was launched in April 2021. Our archive of episodes can be found here. We also publish regular blogs.

Please see our Events page for a range of research and outreach activities.
