The Intolerable - Enrique Díaz Álvarez

The Intolerable

WHAT WE CHOOSE NOT TO SEE There are scenes we see on screens that no longer move us: refugee camps, prisons, bodies that have become invisible. Enrique Díaz Álvarez argues, in this book, that the intolerable is not only in what power does to the vulnerable, but in the complacency with which the rest of us watch the cruel spectacle of the world. In dialogue with Foucault, Angela Davis, and John Berger, he argues that looking can be an act of resistance, and that repulsion, shame, and collective responsibility are the political emotions that still remain against indifference.

A brief and disturbing essay for a time when cruelty has become commonplace.
