Paul Morrow – författare

In the 21st century, it is impossible to avoid seeing atrocities. Pictures of grievous death populate the pages of newspapers and aggregators almost daily. Billboards and banner ads for humanitarian organizations routinely feature scenes of famine and forced displacement. With the spread of social media, our closest friends and relatives have become key sources of visual encounters with intolerable harms. Seeing Atrocities explains what we stand to gain from such encounters, and supplies crucial tools for navigating them. Images--from photographs and films to children's drawings and VR-renderings--convey vital information about causes and culpability for atrocities. At the same time, images increasingly serve as vectors for mis- and disinformation, fueling conspiracy theories and inspiring acts of violent extremism. Whether in the classroom or the courtroom, the museum or the living room, the stakes of visual encounters with atrocities are substantial. So too are the risks of misjudging them. By showing what it means to see atrocities as atrocities, Paul Morrow forges new links between ethics, political philosophy, and the philosophy of perception. By surveying a broad range of visual encounters with atrocities, he aids lawyers, journalists, and educators in their efforts to teach, report on, or adjudicate such harms. Finally, by proposing specific norms for seeing, sharing, and exhibiting atrocities, he addresses moral questions confronting every reader in our globally connected world.

Museums and Mass Violence examines the varied ways in which museums around the world address – or fail to address – the problem of mass violence and severe human rights abuses.Bringing together a diverse group of scholars and practitioners and a transnational set of case studies, this volume explores the potential of museums to contribute to social justice in the contemporary era. At the same time, it directs attention to the perils these institutions face when they curate and exhibit “difficult” knowledge concerning genocide, mass killing, and other kinds of atrocity crimes. The question of how museums shape historical understanding of political oppression, particularly within the political, social, and economic contexts in which they operate, is another major issue addressed by this volume. Asking for whom, exactly, “difficult histories” are difficult, contributors to this volume also ask the hard question of what museum professionals should do when the “terrible gift” they offer visitors through exhibits detailing historical episodes of mass violence are met not with horror, but with indifference – or worse, approval.Providing comparative discussion of the perils and potential of exhibiting atrocities in countries as diverse as Sweden, Argentina, Rwanda, and Canada, Museums and Mass Violence will be essential reading for academics and students engaged in the study of museums, memory, ethics, genocide, trauma, heritage, social justice, culture, and human rights.
