Caring in Curating. Transforming Art History
Although aware of a growing bibliography grounded in feminist theory on the necessity of an ethics of care, prior to reading Radicalizing Care, I had never considered its application to curatorial activity.

But where this was once limited to the institutional maintenance and exhibition of art obje…
Photographier la catastrophe
Sont examinés ici quelques-uns des problèmes posés par la représentation photographique de la catastrophe. Ils sont causés, principalement, par les limites du médium lui-même, qui ne peut enregistrer qu'un moment temporel distinct. Mais ils sont dus aussi au fait d'offrir au regard d'un spectateur heureusement éloigné - que ce soit dans le temps ou dans l'espace - la souffrance d'autrui. D'autres questions éthiques sont également soulevées par le…
Torture à Abou Ghraib
Cet article traite des photographies de tortures réalisées dans la prison d'Abou Ghraib en Irak par les soldats américains et analyse la nouveauté de ce phénomène - l'acte des participants consistant à donner d'eux-mêmes une représentation collective tandis qu'ils torturent leurs prisonniers. Si l'on considère que les activités ont été par bien des aspects orchestrées et mises en scène pour l'appareil photographique, on peut rattacher ces images …

Photophilia
Lifson: Precisely. Look at the vogue for pictorial photography, which never seems to go away. That's the easiest form for consumption, so long as you put it in the right package. One thing I like to do, which never gets into any of my articles, is listen to the salesmen sell their wares to customers in the photography galleries: This artist is using her body like a body artist .. . This artist is learning from pattern painting
A Photographer in Jerusalem, 1855
If ripeness is all, no better illustration could be found than in the trajectory photography has described from its simultaneous birth in the two most industrialized and powerful countries in the world. Engendered by science,' with ambitions to art, and popularly believed to incarnate the absolute measure of optical truth, its success was guaranteed. Indeed, it is significant that almost all of photography's eventual uses were foreseen at its ver…
