Photography has visualized international relations and conflicts
from the midnineteenth century onwards and continues to be an
important medium in framing the worlds of distant, suffering
others. Although photojournalism has been challenged in recent
decades, claims that it is dead are premature. The Violence of the
Image examines the roles of image producers and the functions of
photographic imagery in the documentation of wars, violent
conflicts and human rights issues; tackling controversial ideas
such as 'witnessing', the making of appeals based on displays of
human suffering and the much-cited concept of 'compassion fatigue'.
In the twenty-first century, the advent of digital photography,
camera phones and socialmedia platforms has altered the
relationship between photographers, the medium and the audience- as
well as contributing to an ongoing blurring of the boundaries
between news and entertainment and professional and amateur
journalism. The Violence of the Image explores how new vernacular
and artistic modes of photographic production articulate
international friction.This innovative, timely book makes a major
contribution to discussions about the power of the image in
conflict.
