How are film and photography used in humanitarian work changing? Is so-called ‘compassion fatigue’ causing NGOs and photojournalists to re-think how they represent ‘poverty’ and ‘human rights’?
A podcast of the discussion – ‘The Future of Picturing the World: filming and imaging in a global era’ – is now available here.
Of particular interest is the presentation by Professor Lilie Chouliaraki from the Department of Media and Communications at LSE, who outlines the arguments in her latest paper on a ‘post humanitarian sensibility’. Other speakers include; Max Houghton, editor of Foto 8 and course leader in the MA Photojournalism course at Westminster University; Renzo Martens, video artist; and Julian Stallabrass, reader at The Courtauld Institute. The discussion is chaired by Dr. Paul Lowe.
