Regarding the Pain of Others - Susan Sontag
Regarding the Pain of Others is Susan Sontag’s searing analysis of our numbed response to images of horror. From Goya’s Disasters of War to news footage and photographs of the conflicts in Vietnam, Rwanda and Bosnia, morepictures have been charged with inspiring dissent, fostering violence or instilling apathy in us, the viewer. Regarding the Pain of Others will alter our thinking not only about the uses and meanings of images, but about the nature of war, the limits of sympathy, and the obligations of conscience.
