Abstract or Description
Introduction to the special issue "Photography, Forensics, and the Politics of Recognition." Inaugural volume for Writing with Light Magazine.
Writing with Light Magazine is thematically focused on forensic photography in the aftermath of state violence. This inaugural issue features the work of four different photographers and follows a conversation on ethnographic photography with Guatemalan anthropologist Alejandro M. Flores Aguilar. The aim of the issue is to put Dr. Flores’ section in conversation with the work of photographers from Spain (Álvaro Minguito Palomares and Clemente Bernad) and Argentina (Gustavo Germano), all of whom work with images and themes of murdered and forcibly disappeared victims of state violence, forensic photography, memory, and representation. An introductory essay written by Dr. Lee Douglas (member of the collective) helps to draw out themes that are critical to the published photo essays. Each of these photo essays is accompanied by supplemental texts (in this case we feature an essay by Drs. Natalia Fortuny and Jordana Blejmar).
