Ante el dolor de los demas / Regarding the Pain of Others

Susan Sontag

Un lucido ensayo sobre la representacion documental e iconografica del dolor.

Veinticinco anos despues de Sobre la fotografia, Susan Sontag regreso al estudio de la representacion visual de la guerra y la violencia. ?Como nos afecta el espectaculo del sufrimiento ajeno? ?Nos hemos acostumbrado a la crueldad? Para ello, la autora examina la serie de Goya Los desastres de la guerra, las fotografias de la guerra civil estadounidense y de los campos de concentracion nazis, y las horribles imagenes contemporaneas de Bosnia, Sierra Leona, Ruanda, Israel y Palestina, asi como de la ciudad de Nueva York el 11 de septiembre de 2001. En Ante el dolor de los demas, Susan Sontag aporta una interesante reflexion sobre como la guerra se lleva a cabo (y se entiende) en nuestros dias.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Twenty-five years after her classic On Photography, Susan Sontag returns to the subject of visual representations of war and violence in our culture today.

How does the spectacle of the sufferings of others (via television or newsprint) affect us? Are viewers inured–or incited–to violence by the depiction of cruelty? In Regarding the Pain of Others, Susan Sontag takes a fresh look at the representation of atrocity–from Goya’s The Disasters of War to photographs of the American Civil War, lynchings of blacks in the South, and the Nazi death camps, to contemporary horrific images of Bosnia, Sierra Leone, Rwanda, Israel and Palestine, and New York City on September 11, 2001.
