The acoustics of civil resistance
Inspired by Diamond Reynolds’s radical gesture to open a live broadcast in the moments after Philando Castile was shot by police in 2016, this paper explores the ways smartphones have become a critical tool of civil resistance. The paper situates this tool in a historical context, tracking the role of visual testimony in the long struggle for Black liberation, drawing special attention to the acoustic dimension and posing questions about how atte…
Inventing Human Dignity
This chapter makes a modest contribution to the emerging scholarship on the history and meaning of dignity as it pertains to universal human rights. It traces how the particular quality came to be affixed to the human person. These three strands of dignity – dignity as status, dignity as intrinsic value, and dignity as the ability to keep one&s;s composure in the face of suffering – come together in a particular way in the era of photography. But…
Books by Our Readers
Adventures in the Classroom and Our Nation's Capital chronicles my career as a social studies teacher. Starting in Connecticut and upstate New York, you will read the struggles of a young teacher learning his craft in diff erent public and private, rural, suburban, and small town schools while also searching for meaning in America and American history. After arriving in northern Virginia, I immediately took advantage of nearby Washington, DC, for…
Face of Our Wartime 1
This paper considers a turn toward portraiture amongst contemporary photojournalists who have covered the War on Terror. A series of wartime faces is examined in order to consider the way prolonged conflict flattens our visual landscape. War appears to restrict our palette, effectively diminishing our appetite for that aspect of experience which does not yield directly to sight. The price of this shrinking surface area is a reduction in our abili…
On the Freedom of Thought, in Dream Life if Nowhere Else
This essay examines the “dead daughter in a box dream,” which initially appeared in The Interpretation of Dreams (1900), in order to make two, related claims. First, the dream is treated as an exemplar of the work of symbolization, and in particular, as a vehicle for the dreamer to work through the phantasy of infanticide. Second, the dreamer’s disclosure of her dream is regarded as an exemplar of parrhesia —a particular speech act that Michel Fo…
Human Rights In Camera
From the fundamental rights proclaimed in the American and French declarations of independence to the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Hannah Arendt’s furious critiques, the definition of what it means to be human has been hotly debated. But the history of human rights—and their abuses—is also a richly illustrated one. Following this picture trail, Human Rights In Camera takes an innovative approach by examining the visual images th…

Air War and Dream
This paper treats Lee Miller's photographs of the London Blitz as a species of dream, which is to say, the Surrealist's images are regarded as a special form of thinking in which the conflicts and horrors of the times are represented in an effort to discharge their destructive force. This treatment calls upon Freud's discussion of dream-work, but also upon Didier Anzieu and Wilfred Bion's later writings, which consider the defensive and protectiv…
Visual Testimony
This essay examines images of the liberation of Dachau concentration camp taken by American war correspondent and photographer Lee Miller. Miller’s work is mobilized as an optic through which to grasp the shock of confronting the Nazi camps. Her images are read as a form of visual testimony. That is, although they fail to provide a transparent view of what occurred in the Nazi lagers, they are nevertheless inscribed with all that the photographer…
On Photographic Violence
This paper explores the significance of photographic violence in relation to a single defaced image found during the Bosnian War. The single example of pictorial violence opens a set of questions interrogating the nature of human aggression: What is the status of violence carried out in effigy? Can this particular example of defacement open understanding into the other forms of violence that took place during the dissolution of the former Yugosla…
New York Transfixed
What does fear look like? What can photography reveal of the unconscious dimensions of terror? Working with the largest photographic archive devoted to the 9/11 terrorist attacks on New York City, this article studies the visual inscription of terror in the bodily gestures of eyewitness, gestures that were captured by citizen photographers
The Childhood of Human Rights
This article examines the Congo reform movement's use of atrocity photographs in their human rights campaign (c. 1904–13) against Belgian King Leopold, colonial ruler of the Congo Free State. This material analysis shows that human rights are conceived by spectators who, with the aid of the photographic apparatus, are compelled to judge that crimes against humanity are occurring to others. The article also tracks how this judgement has been haunt…
Camera War, Again
Despite this awareness, I never cease to be surprised by the pictures I encounter in the news. The war in Iraq has undoubtedly produced some of the most dreadful entries in the history of camera war. The torture photographs from Abu Ghraib come to mind, of course, but I find the pictures of the dead just as disturbing. Some of the first images of this kind arrived in the summer of 2003 with the American Provisional Authority’s release of photogra…
A painful labour
This paper considers the tension between photography and responsibility despite the avalanche of objections regarding documentary's false promise to awaken social conscience. By examining the encounter with images of suffering through a psychoanalytic register, the paper tries to articulate what Barthes describes as the ‘painful labour’ of responding to the photographic other – an encounter that illuminates the limit of the spectator's ability to…
