Topik: War; Periodicals; Nations Fulltext: 253.full.pdf (129.08KB) Isi artikel ‘Total wars’ are often assumed to be 20th-century phenomena, that is, conflicts where distinctions between combatants and non-combatants disappear and entire nation-states become dedicated to the mass production of sufficient munitions and machineries of war to deliver victory, whatever the cost. Photo-journalism, too, is commonly defined as a 20th-century innovation, offering an unprecedented means for the mass reproduction of ‘the precise and transitory instant’ (to quote Henri Cartier Bresson). It has even been argued that photo-journalism played a significant part in the totalizing of military conflict, at least in a psychological sense, by creating new opportunities for intimacy with human suffering in distant conflicts.
