Peace Photography

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the intersection of photography and peace, this study critiques the prevalent emphasis on violence in visual culture. It proposes a new research agenda within visual peace research, exploring how photography can represent and contribute to peace. Engaging with the works of photographers like Robert Capa and Richard Mosse, it examines visual anticipations of peace across historical and contemporary contexts, arguing that peace photography is episodic, culturally specific, and reflective of both past and future dynamics.
