Abstract

The book Streaming Television, Necromedia, and Gore Capitalism: exploring the series Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story problematizes the visibility of extreme crimes, the mediatization of violence, and the celebrating culture of abject figures. Divided into essays, the text addresses various themes presented to the viewer, such as the cult surrounding Jeffrey Dahmer, audience reception, and platform capitalism. This review focuses on two aspects that contribute to communication research: the diverse perception of collective authorship and object-oriented analysis, which captures a phenomenon based on its conditions of possibility and generated effects. The authors argue for a specific possibility of work in our field based on the perception that extreme acts possess an intrinsic "communicability".
