Villa Gillet - Rhône-Alpes - recherches contemporaines

Ariella Azoulay teaches the visual arts and contemporary philosophy at the Bar Ilan University in Israel. Her latest work, The Civil Contract of Photography, constitutes a fascinating study of the political and ethical status of photography via a discussion of the disasters of contemporary history and the way in which these events and their victims have been presented. This is an unprecedented analysis of the link between photography and citizenship.
