Àííîòàöèÿ: "Regarding the Pain of Others" is Susan Sontag's searing analysis of our numbed response to images of horror. From Goya's "Disasters of War" to news footage and photographs of the conflicts in Vietnam, Rwanda and Bosnia, pictures have been charged with inspiring dissent, fostering violence or instilling apathy in us, the viewer. 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.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Susan Sontag's groundbreaking critique of photography asks forceful questions about the moral and aesthetic issues surrounding this art form. Photographs are everywhere. They have the power to shock, idealize or seduce, they create a sense of nostalgia and act as a memorial, and they can be used as evidence against us or to identify us. Here Sontag examines the ways in which we use these omnipresent images to manufacture a sense of reality and authority in our lives
