It explores the conditions in which photography can succeed in disrupting stereotypical political interpretations of the killings. Art photograph…

An argument about beauty
Daedalus Fall 2005 Responding at last, in April of 2002, to the scandal created by the revelation of innumerable cover-ups of sexually predatory priests, Pope John Paul II told the American cardinals summoned to the Vatican, “A great work of art may be blemished, but its beauty remains; and this is a truth which any intellectually honest critic will recognize.” Is it too odd that the Pope likens the Catholic Church to a great–that is, beautiful–w…
Refusenik
Hundreds of Israeli soldiers, called up to take part in controversial campaigns like the 1982 invasion of Lebanon or policing duties in the Palestinian territories today, have refused orders. Many of these ‘refuseniks’ have faced prison sentences rather than take part in what they regard as an unjust occupation in defence of illegal Jewish settlements

A Conversation with Susan Sontag Evans Chan and Susan Sontag This interview took place in late July, 2000 at Susan Sontag's penthouse apartment in Chelsea on a sunny, tolerably hot day.

Waiting for Godot in Sarajevo
In Memory of Their Feelings
The Volcano Lover
A historical romance, Sontag's book is based on the lives of Sir William Hamilton, his wife, Emma, and Lord Nelson in the final decades of the eighteenth century. Passionately examining the shape of Western civilization since the Age of Enlightenment, Sontag's novel is an exquisitely detailed picture of revolution, the fate of nature, art and love.
