1. The capture of the subject -- 2. Aesthetic vertigo : disgust and the illegitimate touchings of art -- Viewing (de)position : hidings -- 3. Written on the skin of the city -- Viewing (de)position : 'where do you live?' -- 4. Disappearing images and the laws of appearance -- Viewing (de)position : gifts -- 5. The art of injury and the ethics of witnessing -- Viewing (de)position : 'is there anything you wish to ask me?' -- 6. All that remains : image in a place of ruin.
Review: "Art, value, law - the links between these three terms mark a history of struggle in the cultural scene. Studies of contemporary culture have thus increasingly turned to the image as central to the production of legitimacy, aesthetics and order. Judging the Image extends the cultural turn in legal and criminological studies by interrogating our responses to the image. This book provides a space to think through problems of ethics, social authority and the legal imagination. Concepts of memory and interpretation, violence and aesthetic, authority and legitimacy are considered in a diverse range of sites." "This book will be fascinating reading for students and academics working at the crossroads of aesthetics, crime, law and culture."--BOOK JACKET.
