Humanitarian Photo - Selling or Witnessing the Others
BUCHAROVÁ, Eva
This master dissertation is focused on a humanitarian photo and its role in construction of "the others". By the example of the cholera outbreak in Zambia in 2010 I examine how the humanitarian photo works in respect to the process of otherization. Employing a qualitative research approach (particularly a case study) and an argumentation based on analytic generalization I suggest that each humanitarian photo necessary contains documenting and selling dimension because the humanitarians, on the one hand, speak on behalf of people in need and try to witness particular reality in their visual campaigns; and on the other hand they need to rise funds to be able to provide this humanitarian aid or development assistance, keep their work and authority of the organisation.
