Rousseau and Dignity: Art Serving Humanity is a richly illustrated
volume relating a series of events-a photography exhibit, lectures,
commentary, and audience reactions by people ages seven to
ninety-two-held in the name of Jean-Jacques Rousseau's
tercentennial in 2012. Drawn together by the unexpected convergence
of a lecture series and art exhibit held in South Bend, Indiana,
and a documentary film that was shot simultaneously in Compiegne,
France, the participants had several goals: to show why Rousseau's
moral philosophy is important for our time; to argue for the
importance of subjective art forms such as photography, video
letters, and autobiography; to reproduce the stunning
photojournalism commissioned by Amnesty International to document
and dignify people who suffer human rights abuses, such as
substandard housing, nationless-ness, and ethnic prejudice; and to
inspire new kinds of intergenerational teaching. The book includes
essays from world-renowned scholars on Jean-Jacques Rousseau; five
chapters by photojournalists, which include fifty-four photographs
from Egypt, India, Macedonia, Mexico, and Nigeria; and notes by
youthful visitors to the exhibit. In the volume's unorthodox
combination of art and text, creation and reflection, the authors
hope to elicit readers' interest in, and commitment to, an engaged
form of public humanities.
