From Goya's Disasters of War to news footage and photographs of the conflicts in Vietnam, Rwanda and Bosnia, pictures have been blamed for inspiring dissent, fostering violence or instilling apathy in us, the viewers. 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.

Er det en god ting å vise menneskers lidelser gjennom fotografiet? Fremmer det eller demper den evnen til å ta et oppgjør med lidelsen? Det handler dette krevende men tankevekkende essayet av en av USAs fremste intellektuelle på slutten av 1900-tallet.
This book doesn't really need my praises but way too many quotes from it ended up in my stories on IG so, yeah, loved it.
