Third volume in the Negotiating Images series

Pictures both reflect and exert violence: AI mimics war photography in Gaza, snapshots from Abu Ghraib become a meme shared around the world, surveillance expands with automated production and analysis, and sexist pictures still permeate advertising and entertainment. Through the lens of several disciplines, the book investigates the politics of visual violence and its potential to provoke, subvert and transform social, political and media discourses. Artists and scholars discuss the whiteness of Silicon Valley's digital ecologies, gender and violence in news media and photography, transgressive practices and more, asking where violence begins, who decides what is violent and how production technologies and distribution channels shape the relationship. The third volume in the Negotiating Images series, after Shoot & Think (unibz) and Landscape with(out) Locus (NERO).

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
