This study thinks with photography about peace. It asks how photography can represent peace, and how such representation can contribute to peace. The book offers an original critique of the almost exclusive focus on violence in recent work on visual culture and presents a completely new research agenda within the overall framework of visual peace research. Critically engaging with both photojournalism and art photography in light of peace theories, it looks for visual representations or anticipations of peace – peace or peace as a potentiality – in the work of selected photographers including Robert Capa and Richard Mosse, thus reinterpreting photography from the Spanish Civil War to current anti-migration politics in Europe. The book argues that peace photography is episodic, culturally specific, process-oriented and considerate of both the past and the future.
Una larga travesía por 25 años de obstinado trabajo en numerosos escenarios bélicos y posbélicos de América Latina, Europa, Asia y África; lugares que desvelan la crudeza de nuestro tiempo y en los que languidecen, injustamente olvidadas, las víctimas de la barbarie. Un contundente legado histórico para que en el futuro no se pueda dudar del pasado. Forjada con infatigable coraje, el fotógrafo se sumerge en realidades desoladoras que muchos preferirían ignorar. Una innegable aportación a la fotografía de reportaje y una constatación de cómo a través de ella puede dignificarse a las víctimas retratadas con una mirada que enaltece los mejores valores del fotoperiodismo. Corpus fotográfico resultado de una infatigable dedicación al seguimiento de la actualidad internacional y a la elaboración de proyectos documentales más reflexivos y minuciosos, desarrollados a largo plazo.
Provides an examination of the tensions that exist between the West and Islamic societies of Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. These essays, originating in Goytisolo's travels in the late 1990s, provide historical analysis and first-person reportage of life in four war-zones: Sarajevo, Algeria, the West Bank and Gaza, and Chechnya. Goytisolo shows how relations between Islam and the West continue to be shaped in a climate of ideological, political, and cultural confrontation. --From publisher description.
When the margin IS the center, perspectives shift
"Crises radically alter lives. The Covid-19 pandemic and its consequences on our daily lives have questioned traditional modes of practice (Castigloni & Gaj, 2020). This is true for many clinicians and practitioners but also for the academic context and the discipline of Psychology. While many of us are still recovering from the collective longings for a 'back to how things were before the pandemic,' we have also realized that circumstances keep changing in unpredictable ways"--
