Representations of Suffering

27 Outubro 2025, 15:30 • Catarina Fróis

Images of suffering — photography, film, or other visual media— powerful and contested forms of representation in contemporary culture.

Key ethical political questions:

Does representation alleviate suffering or risk aestheticizing it?

Who controls the narrative of suffering—and who benefits from it?
