Que les droits de l'homme soient affaire de déclaration n'est pas seulement gage de solennité, mais noue leur destin aux pièges du langage : sitôt déclarés, l'écriture les transit d'une division et d'une dispersion, d'un jeu de captures dont ne sortent indemnes aucun de ceux qui voudraient s'en revendiquer ou s'y reconnaître. Énigme d'une politique à venir : il se pourrait, à mesure que s'en réclament gouvernants ou terroristes, que le sujet des droits n'ait plus figure humaine.

Dossier in Aperture 204 (Fall 2011), pp. 50-73. "Aperture's editors emailed a large group of photographers, artists, writers, curators, critics, and other cultural thinkers and asked them to consider the image's evolution, role, and presence since [Sept 11, 2001]. How have the past ten years—shaped by conflicts, from the 9/11 attacks themselves to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to ongoing uprisings overwhelming North Africa and the Middle East (and as we write, on May 1, the day of the public announcement of Osama bin Laden's killing)—been visually articulated? At the same time, with the advent of new technologies and social media, how have unprecedented modes of image production, distribution, and consumption transformed photography?"

Israel's assault on an aid flotilla heading to Gaza is a decisive episode in the country's challenge to international humanitarian law and its advocates. But it may have unexpected results, say Thomas Keenan & Eyal Weizman.
