Whereas the quintessential genre fo r\nrepresenting political violence remains the journalistic atrocity image, our papers will address a broader, shape-shifting image ecology within whi ch violence and suffering come into appearance. Tracking how journalistic i mages are made to do new kinds of communicative labor beyond bearing witnes s to violence, the papers also examine other image-genres, such\nas documen tation by perpetrators, art images based on photographs, family photographs , and identity photos. We aim to investigate the important role of local an d international viewers of such images – not just their makers – in shaping social and political consensus, dissent, and change. We hope to engage wit h theoretical debates about evidentiary versus creative\nframeworks for und erstanding photographs of suffering and atrocity in ethnographic and histor ical approaches to interdisciplinary scholarship on disaster, conflict, and dissent in Southeast Asian studies.
