Making Humanitarian Crises: Emotions and Images in History de Justin Davis

Making Humanitarian Crises: Emotions and Images in History: Palgrave Studies in the History of Emotions

Autor Justin Davis, Robert Reese
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 sep 2022
This open access book explores the emotional agency of images in the construction of ‘humanitarian crises’ from the nineteenth century to the present. Using the prism of the histories of emotions and the senses, the chapters examine the pivotal role images have in shaping cultural, social and political reactions to the suffering of others and to the establishment of the international networks of solidarity. Questioning certain emotions assumed to underlie humanitarianism such as sympathy, empathy and compassion, they demonstrate how the experience of such emotions has shifted over time. Understanding images as emotional objects, contributors from a wide horizon of disciplines explore how their production, circulation and reception has been crucial to the perception of humanitarian crises in a long-term historical perspective.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

‘Wide-ranging but tightly focused, this brilliant volume shows us the innovative analytical possibilities afforded by a sophisticated approach that critically blends the history of emotions, the history of the senses and the history of experience with new ways of handling visual and material sources.’
-          Rob Boddice, Tampere University, Finland
