About this product
Product Information
An argument that anyone can pursue political agency and resistance through photography, even those with flawed or nonexistent citizenship. In this compelling work, Ariella Azoulay reconsiders the political and ethical status of photography. Describing the power relations that sustain and make possible photographic meanings, Azoulay argues that anyone--even a stateless person--who addresses others through photographs or is addressed by photographs can become a member of the citizenry of photography. The civil contract of photography enables anyone to pursue political agency and resistance through photography. Photography, Azoulay insists, cannot be understood separately from the many catastrophes of recent history. The crucial arguments of her book concern two groups with flawed or nonexistent citizenship: the Palestinian noncitizens of Israel and women in Western societies. Azoulay analyzes Israeli press photographs of violent episodes in the Occupied Territories, and interprets various photographs of women--from famous images by stop-motion photographer Eadweard Muybridge to photographs from Abu Ghraib prison. Azoulay asks this question: under what legal, political, or cultural conditions does it become possible to see and to show disaster that befalls those who can claim only incomplete or nonexistent citizenship? Drawing on such key texts in the history of modern citizenship as the Declaration of the Rights of Man together with relevant work by Giorgio Agamben, Jean-Fran ois Lyotard, Susan Sontag, and Roland Barthes, Azoulay explores the visual field of catastrophe, injustice, and suffering in our time. Her book is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the disasters of recent history--and the consequences of how these events and their victims have been represented.

Reviews
... this is a significant, deeply moral book that should undercut complacent thinking. Azoulay's renewal of cultural attention to the state and her view of photography that requires us to dispute prevailing interpretations of evidence must surely be welcomed as we are, once again, thrown headlong back to reality., "Azoulay's ethical and political interrogation of her circumstances as an Israeli citizen should be taken as a challenge to produce our own accounting." ---Abigail Solomon-Godeau, Art in America, "... Azoulay's central themes -- state violence, violations of human rights, and thenature and potential of photographic witness -- are as relevant to our own political circumstancesas they are to hers." Abigail Solomon-Godeau Art in America, "... this is a significant, deeply moral book that should undercut complacentthinking. Azoulay's renewal of cultural attention to the state and her view of photography thatrequires us to dispute prevailing interpretations of evidence must surely be welcomed as we are,once again, thrown headlong back to reality."

Azoulay's renewal of cultural attention to the state and her view of photography that requires us to dispute prevailing interpretations of evidence must surely be welcomed as we are, once again, thrown headlong back to reality." ---Steve Edwards, Times Higher Education Supplement, ... Azoulay's central themes--state violence, violations of human rights, and the nature and potential of photographic witness--are as relevant to our own political circumstances as they are to hers., "Azoulay...is not interested in viewers' emotional responses to images of suffering. It's not empathy she's after; she wants action. Images can transform the world, she argues, and the only reason they haven't yet is because we don't know how to look at them. The problem isn't images; it's us....For many years, I said I didn't know what to do when I encountered an image of another person in pain or dying or already dead. After reading Azoulay, I could no longer claim that I didn't know what to do. She had explained the work in detail. The question for me now is whether I am up to the task." ---Sarah Sentilles, The New Yorker, "... this is a significant, deeply moral book that should undercut complacent thinking. Azoulay's renewal of cultural attention to the state and her view of photography that requires us to dispute prevailing interpretations of evidence must surely be welcomed as we are, once again, thrown headlong back to reality."

Abigail Solomon-Godeau Art in America, ". . . nothing less than a wholesale restatement of the contemporary political stakes of the image. . . ." ---Brian Dillon, Art Review, ... Azoulay's central themes -- state violence, violations of human rights, and the nature and potential of photographic witness -- are as relevant to our own political circumstances as they are to hers.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
