Abstract [en]

This article highlights the shift from “organized humanitarianism” to “expressive humanitarianism”, characterized by the increasing influence of four key elements: media, voluntary organizations, witness accounts, and the role of spectacle and celebrities. This research offers valuable empirical context for the transformation of humanitarianism around 1970.
