No rating yet(0 ratings)In the hardcover book Immediations: The Humanitarian Impulse in Documentary, Pooja Rangan examines how humanitarian documentaries represent suffering. She calls the drive to make suffering appear urgent and immediate “immediation” and argues that it can both draw on and reproduce the suffering it depicts.
Her examples include photography workshops for children of sex workers in Calcutta, live reporting by Hurricane Katrina survivors, facilitated speech for nonverbal autistics and painting lessons for elephants. Rangan considers how asking subjects to demonstrate their humanity can reinforce their status as outsiders and exclude non-normative ways of thinking, being and doing.
She calls for media practices that realize the potential of giving the camera to the other. This Camera Obscura book is listed under Performing Arts Books. SKU sku-55481458.
