ABSTRACT
While much academic research has focused on the formation of enemy images during the mobilization and fighting periods of war, little attention has been paid to what happens to these same depictions once wars end. This chapter addresses the question of whether enemy images are deconstructed once wars end and how this is reflected in their mass media framing. The chapter is based on a media content analysis of three American wars and the framing of three adversaries during the war and post-war periods.
