We are told modernity's end will destabilize familiar ways of
knowing, doing, and being, but are these changes we should dread-or
celebrate? Four significant events (and the iconic images that
represent them) catalyze this question: the consecration of openly
gay Episcopalian bishop Gene Robinson, the mistreatment of
prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison, the politicization of the death of
Terri Schiavo, and the disastrous response to Hurricane Katrina.
Framed by an original appropriation of Michel Foucault, and drawing
on resources in visual culture theory and the history of
photography, Ellen T. Armour explores the anxieties, passions, and
power dynamics bound up in the photographic representation and
public reception of these events. Together, these phenomena expose
modernity's benevolent and malevolent disruptions and reveal the
systemic fractures and fissures that herald its end, for better and
for worse. In response to these signs and wonders, Armour lays the
groundwork for a theology and philosophy of life better suited to
our (post)modern moment: one that owns up to the vulnerabilities
that modernity sought to disavow and better enables us to navigate
the ethical issues we now confront.
