Recent political conflicts signal an increased proliferation of
image testimonies shared widely via social media. Although
witnessing with and through images is not a phenomenon of the
internet era, contemporary digital image practices and politics
have significantly intensified the affective economies of image
testimonies. This volume traces the contours of these conditions
and develops a conception of image testimony along four areas of
focus. The first and second section of this volume reflects the
discussion of image testimonies as an interplay of evidential
qualities and their potential to express affective relationalities
and emotional involvement. The third section focuses on the
question of how social media technologies shape and subsequently
are shaped by image testimonies. To further complicate the ethical
position of the witness, the final section looks at image testimony
at the intersection of creation and destruction, taking into
account the perspectives of different actors and their opposed
moral positions. With an emphasis on the affectivity of these
images, Image Testimonies provides new and so far overlooked
insights in the field. It will appeal to students and researchers
interested in fields such as Sociology and Social Policy, Media and
Communications, Visual Arts and Culture and Middle East Studies.
