Citizens' photography
Taking advantage of developments in digital technology and the transmission of information, citizens' photography has become a common way that ordinary people, rather than exclusively professionals, now produce knowledge. It also represents the promise of a democratisation of information-making and distribution. After defining citizens' photography, this article offers a comparative analysis of its performance in the spheres of media/journalism, …
The spectacle of demonstration
The coronavirus crisis revealed the vulnerability of shared space especially as a space for civic actions. The media, during lockdown and social distancing, become the main channel for maintaining social connections. The present article deals with demonstrations in Israel during the spring and summer of 2020 which sought to overcome policies through visual mediation and the affordances of digital media. The first part focuses on Guy Debord theory…
Emancipation and Collaboration
This article explores the relationship between political freedom and collaboration in the work of human rights organizations. I focus here on the ethical and political implications involved in the production of evidence once the documenting tool, the camera, is in the hands of an engaged civilian rather than a bystander, such as a photojournalist. By examining cases in the Occupied Palestinian Territories where the Palestinians are the photograph…
Armed with a Camera
This article offers an explanation for the use of the documenter’s gender as part of human rights politics. I examine the case of the Camera Project of B’Tselem, an Israeli human rights organization working in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. The organization, which distributes video cameras to Palestinian residents, celebrates the participation of women in the documenting project and declares that the women’s videos capture a unique point o…
Visual Activism in Palestine
Gendered visual activism
This article focuses on the involvement of Palestinian women in video documentation as part of the project of the Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem. It claims that the house/home is a site of anti-colonial struggle and that this development results from a specific socio-political situation and techno-ethical position. Based on analyses of the political situation in the West Bank, as well as consideration of films and interviews with Pale…
Israelis Studying the Occupation
Exposure
Exposure is key element of photography as well as in the relationship between the category of regime and the subjects it entails. This article sets out to re-examine the characteristics of exposure across these different contexts and on the basis of Jean-Luc Nancy's thought. The article focuses on the relation between the practice of photography and civil actions pursued by human rights organizations. Combining theoretical considerations, analysi…
Taking Pictures over Soldiers' Shoulders
This article seeks to explore the practice of Israeli human rights organizations through detailed analysis of the photographs that they publish in their reports and on their websites. A recurrent theme that emerges from these photos is the way in which they have been taken over the shoulders of Israeli soldiers. My intention is to question what governs the selection of these images. The persistent appearance of these images in human rights report…
