Susan Sontag’s groundbreaking critique of photography asks forceful questions about the moral and aesthetic issues surrounding this art form. Photographs are everywhere. They have the power to shock, idealize or seduce, they create a sense of nostalgia and act as a memorial, and they can be used as evidence against us or to identify us. In six incisive essays, Sontag examines the ways in which we use these omnipresent images to manufacture a sense of reality and authority in our lives.

Tive uma saga longa com esse livro. Amei os primeiros ensaios e me arrastei por outros. No geral, foi uma experiência de reflexão que fico feliz de ter tido, mas recomendaria com ressalvas.
