SUMMARY:(P63) Suffering, victims and photographic ‘evidence’ in contemporary histories of Indonesia and East Timor
LOCATION:K10 | 2.25
DESCRIPTION:This panel examines how artists, journalists, and amateur photo
 graphers in Indonesia and East Timor have used photography to support or re
 fute political narratives of suffering and victimhood in a variety of conte
 xts, including famine, anti-Chinese violence, the Indonesian National Revol
 ution, and the mass killings of 1965-6. 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.
