Veinticinco a os despu s de Sobre la fotograf a, Susan Sontag regres al estudio de la representaci n visual de la guerra y la violencia. C mo nos afecta el espect culo del sufrimiento ajeno? Nos hemos acostumbrado a la crueldad? Para ello, la autora examina la serie de Goya Los desastres de la guerra, las fotograf as de la guerra civil estadounidense y de los campos de concentraci n nazis, y las horribles im genes contempor neas de Bosnia, Sierra Leona, Ruanda, Israel y Palestina, as como de la ciudad de Nueva York el 11 de septiembre de 2001. En Ante el dolor de los dem s, Susan Sontag aporta una interesante reflexi n sobre c mo la guerra se lleva a cabo (y se entiende) en nuestros d as. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Twenty-five years after her classic On Photography, Susan Sontag returns to the subject of visual representations of war and violence in our culture today. How does the spectacle of the sufferings of others (via television or newsprint) affect us? Are viewers inured--or incited--to violence by the depiction of cruelty? In Regarding the Pain of Others, Susan Sontag takes a fresh look at the representation of atrocity--from Goya's The Disasters of War to photographs of the American Civil War, lynchings of blacks in the South, and the Nazi death camps, to contemporary horrific images of Bosnia, Sierra Leone, Rwanda, Israel and Palestine, and New York City on September 11, 2001. |
