Abstract
Through newspaper headlines, video games and the cinema, images of ancient or contemporary wars have become almost familiar to us. What are the consequences of this proximity for children, teenagers and adults? What does it mean to see war today, and how do we approach it as photojournalists, artists, mediators or teachers? This volume presents the multiple visions of philosophers, researchers, artists and teachers. It takes us on a three-stage journey through the tensions between proximity and distance in the face of the horror of war, the transmission of war experiences as memory, and the physical and bodily impact of representations of war on the viewer.
