Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. In the 21st century, it is impossible to avoid seeing atrocities. Pictures of grievous death populate the pages of newspapers and aggregators almost daily. Billboards and banner ads for humanitarian organizations routinely feature scenes of famine and forced displacement. With the spread of social media, our closest friends and relatives have become key sources of visual encounters with intolerable harms. Seeing Atrocities explainswhat we stand to gain from such encounters, and supplies crucial tools for navigating them. Images--from photographs and films to children's drawings and VR-renderings--convey vital information about causes andculpability for atrocities. At the same time, images increasingly serve as vectors for mis- and disinformation, fueling conspiracy theories and inspiring acts of violent extremism. Whether in the classroom or the courtroom, the museum or the living room, the stakes of visual encounters with atrocities are substantial. So too are the risks of misjudging them. By showing what it means to see atrocities as atrocities, Paul Morrow forges new links between ethics, politicalphilosophy, and the philosophy of perception. By surveying a broad range of visual encounters with atrocities, he aids lawyers, journalists, and educators in their efforts to teach, report on, oradjudicate such harms. Finally, by proposing specific norms for seeing, sharing, and exhibiting atrocities, he addresses moral questions confronting every reader in our globally connected world. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
