内容简介
We all have image s that we find unwatchable, whether for ethical, political, or sensory and affective reasons. From news coverage of terror attacks to viral video s of police brutality, and from graphic horror films to transgressive artworks, many of the images in our media culture might strike us as unsuitable for viewing. Yet what does it mean to procl ai m something “unwatchable”: disturbing, revolting, poor, tedious, or literally inaccessible?
With over 50 original essays by leading scholars, artists, critics, and curators, this is the first book to trace the “unwatchable” across our contemporary media environment, in which viewers encounter difficult content on various screen s and platforms. Appealing to a broad academic and general reader ship, the volume offers multidisciplinary approaches to the vast array of troubling images that circulate in global visual culture.
