This groundbreaking book examines the experience of watching the
war against Iraq on television, on the Internet, in print media and
in cinema. Looking at the endless stream of images from Iraq
requires a new form of visual thinking that highlights the
intersection of local and global while recognizing the way in which
the war turned images themselves into weapons. Making striking
connections between the history and legend of ancient Babylon, the
Babylon that is Western modernity and everyday life in the modern
suburb of Babylon, New York, Nicholas Mirzoeff explores that part
of the ancient which is still present in the modern. Taking cues
from Walter Benjamin he illuminates our Western experience of the
Iraqi war by focusing on the intersection of past, present and
future in a way which is both original and highly compelling.
