Global Corpse Politics: The Obscenity Taboo - Cambridge Studies in International Relations
Auchter, Jessica (University of Tennessee, Chattanooga)
What makes a photograph of a dead body obscene? Auchter offers a genealogy of obscenity that argues this process is highly political. She explores how and why some images are framed as ethically necessary to view, while others are displayed as spectacles, and others deemed too graphic for viewing.
