Dear Screen-L, Wallflower Press are pleased to announce the publication of: The Image and The Witness Trauma, Memory and Visual Culture Edited by Frances Guerin and Roger Hallas Published in an age of persistent international terrorism and bloody conflicts in Iraq and Darfur, this timely collection of essays explores both the role of the material image in bearing witness to historical events and in visually representing eyewitnesses to collective trauma. With innovative research by emerging young scholars, this unique anthology debates issues of post-traumatic memory, documentary ethics, embodied vision, and the recycling of images. The book discusses experimental films by Chris Marker (Level 5), Derek Jarman (Blue), Rea Tajiri (History and Memory) and Daniel Eisenberg (Cooperation of Parts), as well as the documentary films and photography of Errol Morris and Boris Mikhailov. Taking into account a wide variety of visual forms, there are also studies exploring the installation art of Sue Williamson and Doris Salcedo, and Gerhard Richter's paintings, as well as images from popular culture, including magazines, websites and home movies. Providing various historical and theoretical approaches, the book not only provides new perspectives on well-known works but also presents fascinating research on areas new to English-language scholarship, including Swiss documentary filmmaker Richard Dindo, Armenian genocide websites and Catalan Holocaust photography. About the Editors Frances Guerin is Lecturer in Film Studies at the University of Kent, and the author of A Culture of Light (2005). Roger Hallas is Assistant Professor of English at Syracuse University.
