Epistemic Injustice and the Body in Photography
Epistemic Injustice and the Body in Photography

Summary/Abstract: This paper analyzes the role of the viewers of photographs of violence. The main argu-ment is that due to the characteristic of the medium, both the photographer and the pho-tographed subjects shape the image. The customary overlooking of the photographedsubjects’ agency is conceptualized as epistemic injustice first committed by the photogra-pher and then by the viewer. A method of interpreting war photographs influenced bycritical fabulation and listening to images is proposed to overcome it.
