What are the morally acceptable responses to the sight of suffering on television, for example, when the viewer cannot act directly to affect the circumstances in which the suffering takes place? Luc Boltanski argues that spectators can actively involve themselves and others by speaking about what they have seen and how they were affected by it. Developing ideas in Adam Smith's moral theory, he examines three rhetorical 'topics' available for the expression of the spectator's response to suffering: the topics of denunciation and of sentiment and the aesthetic topic. The book concludes with a discussion of a 'crisis of pity' in relation to modern forms of humanitarianism. A possible way out of this crisis is suggested which involves an emphasis and focus on present suffering. 410 0$aCambridge cultural social studies. 606 $aSuffering 615 0$aSuffering. 676 $a179 700 $aBoltanski$b Luc$0119556 702 $aBurchell$b Graham 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455089003321 996 $aDistant suffering$92465954 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01375nam a2200277 i 4500 001 991000031589707536 005 20020509160923.0 008 010514s1966 fr ||| | fre 035 $ab11298017-39ule_inst 035 $aPARLA200240$9ExL 040 $aDip.to Filosofia$bita 082 0 $a194 100 1 $aMalebranche, Nicolas :$cde$0457354 245 10$aOeuvres completes de Malebranche.$n6-7,$pRecueil des toutes les reponses a monsieur Arnauld : 6, Résponse au livre des vraies et des fausses idées, Trois lettres touchant la défense de M.
