Regarding the Pain of Others (Paperback, New Ed)

A startling reappraisal of the intersection of information, news, art, and politics in the contemporary depiction of war and disaster. From Goya's Disasters of War to news footage and photographs of the conflicts in Vietnam, Rwanda and Bosnia, pictures have been charged with inspiring dissent, fostering violence or instilling apathy in us, the viewers. Regarding the Pain of Others will alter our thinking not only about the uses and meanings of images, but about the nature of war, the limits of sympathy, and the obligations of conscience.
