This in-depth analysis of professional and amateur photography and the work of Rwandan and international filmmakers offers an insight into not only the unique ability of images to engage with death, memory and the need for evidence, but also their helplessness and inadequacy when confronted with the enormity of the event. Focusing on a range of films and photographs, the book tests notions of truth, evidence, record and witnessing ? so often associated with documentary practice ? in the specific context of Rwanda and the wider representational framework of African conflict and suffering. Death, Image, Memory is an inquiry into the multiple memorial and evidentiary functions of images that transcends the usual investigations into whether photography and documentary film can reliably attest to the o ccurrence and truth of an event. . 606 $aPhotography 606 $aDocumentary films 606 $aEthnology$zAfrica 606 $aCulture 606 $aCollective memory 606 $aPhotography 606 $aDocumentary Studies 606 $aAfrican Culture 606 $aMemory Studies 615 0$aPhotography. 615 0$aDocumentary films. 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aCollective memory. 615 14$aPhotography. 615 24$aDocumentary Studies. 615 24$aAfrican Culture. 615 24$aMemory Studies. 676 $a791.43658405318 700 $aCieplak$b Piotr$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0880941 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255097103321 996 $aDeath, Image, Memory$91967596 997 $aUNINA
