  • Publisher: MIT Press

A generously illustrated training manual for reading images, discussing work by Félix Nadar, Roland Barthes, Fazal Sheikh, Susan Meiselas, and others. Paper Graveyards is neither a work of traditional art history nor one of literary criticism. It is not strictly a history of ideas either, notwithstanding its very obvious erudition. Rather, in drawing upon all of these methods and approaches—and with extraordinary attention to language and style—Cadava’s writing examines the spectacular explosion of images during the last twenty years as a prompt to discuss not simply specific images but the role and place of these images in our everyday life. Considering work by Félix Nadar, Roland B...

Bearing Witness

'There are two types of people in this world: those who have been to war and seen war close up, and those who haven't. They're not the same animal.' The journalists and photographers who document war and conflict are continually challenged personally and professionally by the scenes that they witness. How do they live with the horrors of war and human suffering that they witness and the commonly expressed sense of impotence that results, while simultaneously claiming their job is a privilege and their work has given their life meaning? While passionately arguing their aim is to 'make a difference' why have many repeatedly refused to become witnesses in war- crimes tribunals? And how do they ...

Bruce Gilden

Named for one of the most intellectually challenging board games in the world, played primarily in China, Japan, and Korea by players who use black-and-white stones to acquire territory, Go presents Bruce Gilden's photographic explorations of the darker side of Japan. In striking, full-page, black-and-white images, Gilden documents the brutal reality of a Japanese street. In-your-face pictures of Yakuza (mobsters), Bosozoku (members of biker gangs), and street people -- characters who are alternately intimidating, bloodied, tatooed, frightening, and disheveled -- are sporadically interspersed with manga cartoons for a revelatory glimpse at a Japan that looks nothing like its familiar image of calm, orderly, hyper-efficient perfection.
