FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In Nonhuman Witnessing Michael Richardson argues that a radical rethinking of what counts as witnessing is central to building frameworks for justice in an era of endless war, ecological catastrophe, and technological capture. Dismantling the primacy and notion of traditional human-based forms of witnessing, Richardson shows how ecological, machinic, and algorithmic forms of witnessing can help us better understand contemporary crises. He examines the media-specificity of nonhuman witnessing across an array of sites, from nuclear testing on First Nations land and autonomous drone warfare to deepfakes, artificial intelligence, and algorithmic investigative tools. Throughout, he illuminates the ethical and political implications of witnessing in an age of profound instability. By challenging readers to rethink their understanding of witnessing, testimony, and trauma in the context of interconnected crises, Richardson reveals the complex entanglements between witnessing and violence and the human and the nonhuman. Author Biography Michael Richardson is Associate Professor of Media and Culture at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, and author of Gestures of Testimony: Torture, Trauma, and Affect in Literature.

By making a fantastic case for the reversal of the humanist concept of witnessing, Richardson impacts what kinds of research questions can be asked across the disciplines." -- Jairus Victor Grove, author of * Savage Ecology: War and Geopolitics at the End of the World *"Richardson examines what it means to bear witness in the modern world. In an era of escalating geopolitical tensions and instability, impending climate disaster, and technological transformation with artificial intelligence, the book makes a case for expanding our conception of what forms witnessing can take." * University of New South Wales Sydney * Details ISBN1478020903 Author Michael Richardson Publisher Duke University Press Series Thought in the Act Year 2024 ISBN-13 9781478020905 Format Hardcover Publication Date 2024-02-09 Imprint Duke University Press Subtitle War, Data, and Ecology after the End of the World Place of Publication North Carolina Country of Publication United States Illustrations 28 illustrations AU Release Date 2024-02-09 NZ Release Date 2024-02-09 US Release Date 2024-02-09 UK Release Date 2024-02-09 Alternative 9781478025641 Audience Professional & Vocational ISBN-10 1478020903 Pages 256 DEWEY 302.2 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
