We all have images that we find unwatchable, whether for ethical,
political, or sensory and affective reasons. From news coverage of
terror attacks to viral videos of police brutality, and from
graphic horror films to transgressive artworks, many of the images
in our media culture might strike us as unsuitable for viewing. Yet
what does it mean to proclaim something "unwatchable": disturbing,
revolting, poor, tedious, or literally inaccessible? With over 50
original essays by leading scholars, artists, critics, and
curators, this is the first book to trace the "unwatchable" across
our contemporary media environment, in which viewers encounter
difficult content on various screens and platforms. Appealing to a
broad academic and general readership, the volume offers
multidisciplinary approaches to the vast array of troubling images
that circulate in global visual culture.
