Bøger af Eyal Weizman

I Retsteknisk arkitektur tager Eyal Weizman læserne fra droneangreb i Afghanistan til interneringslejre i Syrien og fra bombeattentater i Gaza til bjergene i Guatemala. Med detaljeret dokumentation præsenterer bogen en æstetisk og visuelt udfordrende undersøgelsespraksis, der intervenerer direkte i virkeligheden. Eyal Weizmans forskningsgruppe Forensic Architecture arbejder for at stille de ansvarlige for menneskerettighedsbrud til regnskab. Ved virtuelt at rekonstruere gerningssteder, bombede bygninger og udpinte landskaber skaber gruppen rammerne for nye erkendelser og vidnesbyrd.Eyal Weizman (f. 1970) er britisk-israelsk arkitekt og professor ved Goldsmiths, University of London. Forensic Architecture har bidraget med bevismaterialer til bl.a. Amnesty International og Human Rights Watch og udstillet sine modeller og efterforskninger på Tate Britain, Louisiana, og documenta.Bibliotek for ny kunstteori er en række oversættelser af international kunst- og kulturteori. Projektet er et samarbejde mellem Ny Carlsbergfondet og Informations Forlag.

A new field of counter-investigation across journalism, human rights, art and law

Groundbreaking exploration of the philosophy underpinning Western humanitarian and military intervention.

British photographer Edmund Clark and counterterrorism investigator Crofton Black have assembled photographs and documents that confront the nature of contemporary warfare and the invisible mechanisms of state control.

Images of Conviction shows, through 11 cases, how the photographic image is constructed to become evidence.From the scientific methods developed by Alphonse Bertillon, a criminologist who worked for the Préfecture de Police de Paris in the late 19th century, to the first aerial images of the front taken by the army during World War I, to the shots allowing the victims of Stalin's Great Purge to be identified--for over 150 years photography has served as proof, testifying to crime and thus seeming to deliver truths. In the 11 cases presented here, each one situated within its historical and political context, the question of the status of images is acutely posed. Whether it be the famous shots of the Shroud of Turin, the images of the Nuremberg trial, the skull of Josef Mengele or photos taken with cell phones recording the damage of drone strikes in Afghanistan and Israel, forensic images are now part of any police or political investigation.
