Witness

"Witness is an anthology comrising 40 critical essays from an international cast of researchers who engage with a complex set of questions concerning notions of witnessing and attestation in 20th and 21st-century Western culture. The contributors provide perspectives on the subject of witnessing and suggest how this vital yet unexplored concept lends itself to a wide range of media and subject areas. The essays critically reconsider existing scholarly tendencies which focus on historical evidence and the witness vocalization of true remembrance. They do this by establishing links with canonical texts, images, and voices within a theoretical and interpretive framework where questions of mediation, memorization, and representation are addressed."--Jacket.
