This book offers a new account of the development of conflict photography.

"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'."--Back cover. "In the twenty-first century, the advent of digital photography, camera phones and social media 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."--Page 4 of cover.

Mensen zijn kijkdieren. Eerst zien, dan geloven. Zien ís geloven. Ook via andermans ogen en lenzen. Foto's hebben een enorme overtuigingskracht. Maar merkwaardig genoeg kijken en zien we doorgaans nogal achteloos en oppervlakkig, en ook met foto's springen we niet bepaald zorgvuldig om. Dat lijkt paradoxaal maar is in feite een logisch gevolg van de combinatie van de directe bewijskracht van foto's en hun meerduidigheid, een tekort aan inhoudelijke precisie. Hoe overtuigend foto's ook lijken, ze konden van het begin af niet zonder verklaring. De wereld van het beeld wordt door het woord beheerst. Niet de foto illustreert de tekst, het is de tekst die de foto belicht, duidt en verklaart. De overtuiging dat de camera niet liegt, niet liegen kan, maakt de leugen mogelijk. Er wordt geknipt en geplakt dat het een lieve lust is. Soms bewust, vaker niet-bewust, zonder dat men er erg in heeft. Foto's en bijschriften worden werktuigelijk aangepast aan andere omstandigheden en visies, toegesneden op nieuwe interpretaties en collectieve herinneringen. Gebeurtenissen veranderen van tijd, oorden van naam, slachtoffers en daders van identiteit. Het boek stelt vijftien min of meer bekende historische foto's voor. Omdat tekst en context in hoge mate bepalen wat wordt gezien, kan de lezer eerst zelf kijken en zien, een eigen mening vormen. Vervolgens worden de foto's op de lichtbak van de geschiedschrijver gelegd. Wordings- en receptiegeschiedenis, vormvarianten en wisselende betekenissen worden doorgelicht en in hun bredere historische en fotografische context geplaatst. Kijken en zien veranderen

Most view the relationship of Jews to the Soviet Union through the lens of repression and silence. Focusing on an elite group of two dozen Soviet-Jewish photographers, including Arkady Shaykhet, Alexander Grinberg, Mark Markov-Grinberg, Evgenii Khaldei, Dmitrii Baltermants, and Max Alpert, Through Soviet Jewish Eyes presents a different picture. These artists participated in a social project they believed in and with which they were emotionally and intellectually invested-they were charged by the Stalinist state to tell the visual story of the unprecedented horror we now call the Holocaust. These wartime photographers were the first liberators to bear witness with cameras to Nazi atrocities, three years before Americans arrived at Buchenwald and Dachau. In this passionate work, David Shneer tells their stories and highlights their work through their very own images-he has amassed never-before-published photographs from families, collectors, and private archives. Through Soviet Jewish Eyes helps us understand why so many Jews flocked to Soviet photography; what their lives and work looked like during the rise of Stalinism, during and then after the war; and why Jews were the ones charged with documenting the Soviet experiment and then its near destruction at the hands of the Nazis.
