Picturing Peace: Photography, Conflict Transformation, and Peacebuilding: New Encounters: Arts, Cultures, Concepts
Editat de Dr Tom Allbeson, Pippa Oldfield, Professor Jolyon Mitchellen Limba Engleză Hardback – 23 ian 2025
Providing interdisciplinary and international perspectives on timely debates, Picturing Peace explores humanitarianism and visual culture, community collaboration, collective memory, and imagined futures for creating and sustaining of civil societies. How things look and are perceived are not superficial issues; when it comes to war and conflict, photography is vitally relevant not only to documenting violence, but also to rebuilding peaceful societies.
The volume examines the intersecting issues of visual culture and peacebuilding, including: the genealogies of photography and conflict, decolonisation and the gaze, the significance of archival material, as well as recent peacebuilding initiatives. Exploring multiple forms of peace photography, the volume offers a range of voices from preeminent international scholars, as well as interviews with practicing photographers who have experience of working with post-conflict communities. As such, the book provides a timely investigation into the politics of representation, questioning how photographers might help foster social relationships, transform conflicts, and reconcile communities in the image-oriented cultures.

Recenzii
This is an engaging and thought-provoking read for scholars in peace and conflict studies, photography, media, journalism, and the visual arts, while also offering a valuable critique for practitioners and photographers in peace, conflict and humanitarian work by questioning entrenched norms and assumptions.
A wide-ranging and insightful focus on one of photography's most fundamental drivers - the question of proposing, creating, visualising and sustaining peace. This is an innovative volume that sheds light on photography's complex and understudied engagement with peace.
Can images help us imagine peace in a world plagued by war? Through a series of masterful essays, co-authored by leading scholars and award-winning photographers, this ground-breaking volume reminds us that making peace is also about visualising peace, about seeing how peace might work in pictures - a work just as arduous as it is noble and just as fragile as it is necessary. A must-read!
War photographers say their images call for peace, but what it means to visualize alternatives to conflict has been undertheorized in analyses of our image world. This collection rectifies that, bringing together many leading writers to open up new imaginaries.
This excellent book confronts readers and viewers with a number of searching and difficult questions. Presenting a new affective terrain that explores slowness and the unspectacular, local participation and agency, it questions who is looking, and for whom. It suggests how mainstream categories of war and humanitarian photography have obscured our capacity to see difficult spaces in sensitive ways, and this shift brings something very new.
