This pathbreaking collection of thirteen original essays examines
the moral rights of the subjects of documentary film, photography,
and television. Image makers--photographers and filmmakers--are
coming under increasing criticism for presenting images of people
that are considered intrusive and embarrassing to the subject.
Portraying subjects in a "false light," appropriating their images,
and failing to secure "informed consent" are all practices that
intensify the debate between advocates of the right to privacy and
the public's right to know. Discussing these questions from a
variety of perspectives, the authors here explore such issues as
informed consent, the "right" of individuals and minority groups to
be represented fairly and accurately, the right of individuals to
profit from their own image, and the peculiar moral obligations of
minorities who image themselves and the producers of
autobiographical documentaries. The book includes a series of
provocative case studies on: the documentaries of Frederick
Wiseman, particularly Titicut Follies; British documentaries of the
1930s; the libel suit of General Westmoreland against CBS News; the
film Witness and its portrayal of the Amish; the film The Gods Must
be Crazy and its portrayal of the San people of southern Africa;
and the treatment of Arabs and gays on television. The first book
to explore the moral issues peculiar to the production of visual
images, Image Ethics will interest a wide range of general readers
and students and specialists in film and television production,
photography, communications, media, and the social sciences.
