The Care of the Witness probes the ambiguities of witnessing to genocide, disaster, and war in the 'era of the witness'. This book will appeal to readers interested in collective memory, oral history, and human rights and humanitarian work, as well as in visual culture, political theory and ethics more broadly.
Introduction; 1. The ethics of witnessing and the politics of the governed; 2. Witnessing beyond politics: testimony theory between Auschwitz and the crisis of representation; 3. Witnesses as a public: the authority of experience and the critique of testimonies following the Great War; 4. Empathic listeners and alarmed spectators: secondary witnessing and existential ruin in the Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies; 5. Humanitarian governance and ethical cultivation: Medecins Sans Frontieres and the advent of the expert-witness; Conclusion: revisiting the ethics of witnessing.
