This is just to say, whoever priced this at Macmillan, you're out of your mind. I don't think anyone will pay $22.99 CAD for this book that is scarcely larger than an iPhone 8, even if the book looks beautiful as hell.
کتاب در واقع در باره‌ی عکاسی جنگه و بررسی اثر این عکس‌ها روی افراد. ولی خیلی بحثهای جامع‌تری میکنه و خوندنش در ایامی که جایی از دنیا جنگ شده و تصاویر جنگ هر لحظه جلوی چشممون هست خیلی مناسب بود برای من. تصاویری هم که نویسنده ازشون صحبت میکنه همه ضمیمه کتاب شدند و این هم به نظرم نکته مهمی بود. ولی یکم ارجاعات زیاد نویسنده اذیتم میکرد و باعث میشد خیلی روون خونده نشه کتاب.
She comes to no concrete conclusions which is slightly bothersome but overall for the best bc this is not a subject with any sort of definite right or wrong answer.
A good essay on imagery and perception of atrocities in media, both from a consumer and a producer's viewpoint. It's very informative, filled with useful anecdotes and references in a pretty small volume. A must-read for anyone who consumes media.

25 years after publishing her collection of essays, On Photography, Susan Sontag returns with a short (95 pages) discussion, primarily about war photography. She tackles similar discussions as in her first book, including objectivity, 'truth,' desensitization through overexposure of depictions of violence in photographs, and similarities and differences in the depiction of violence in paintings and photography. In some cases, Sontag takes on her own writing and ends up disagreeing with her original writings from the 1970s. This book is a great companion to On Photography and well worth reading for anyone interested in photojournalism or how we 'consume' news images. Highly recommended.
