[Afterimage Magazine: Special "Photography & War" Issue]

Afterimage Magazine, published by the Visual Studies Workshop, is one of the country's leading journals of media arts and cultural criticism. Their June/July issue [Vol. 31, #6] features articles on "Photography and War." By special arrangement with Afterimage, Camera/Iraq is pleased to present articles— otherwise unavailable on the internet—from this issue. In the next weeks, look for a special project on war and photography from Afterimage and Camera/Iraq that invites writing and images from the public.

Editorial: Bruno Chalifour, Editor
"This issue of Afterimage is not meant to be a pessimistic note about human nature, it is dedicated to “Photography and War," a topic that, unfortunately, never goes out of fashion. In 1973 Donald McCullin asked the question Is Anyone Taking Any Notice? in a book published by the MIT Press. James Natchwey echoed it in 1999 with his Inferno (Phaidon). It took the events of 9/11/2001 to make the world press and readership pay attention, an attention that seems to have been carefully monitored. Although through this issue of Afterimage, you will find roots and room for frustration if not pessimism, we do hope, that by providing a variety of points of view, we will help in the current debate."
