Shows how aesthetic, ethical, and political questions intersect in a range of art forms as found in traditional mediaAddresses key aesthetic, ethical, and political questions in visual mediaExamines contemporary films, television, photography, painting and new visual media such as videogames, Facebook, and interactive documentariesOffers an international mix of emerging and senior authors with interdisciplinary expertiseThis book investigates the interrelations between aesthetics, ethics and politics in a variety of visual media forms, ranging across art installations, film and television, interactive documentaries, painting, photography, social media and videogames. An international mix of emerging and established authors, with interdisciplinary expertise, explores how different ethical questions, political implications and aesthetic pleasures arise and shape one another in distinct visual media.Investigating themes such as the use of cinema as a medium for ethical and political thought, how documentary subjects both conceal and reveal truth, the new ethical challenges arising from interactive media and the role of images in responding to political events and trauma, this is a groundbreaking work about the interrelations of aesthetic, ethical and political values in visual media
