Reviews

A compelling and broad-reaching manuscript that will be of great interest not only to scholars of Arendt and Eichmann, but to those who want to think more generally about the interrelationship of political judgment and visual culture. Judith Butler, University of California, Berkeley A beautifully written and brilliantly argued intervention into the project of intellectual history that breaks new ground in its complex reframing of the key questions of morality and justice in our times. Marita Sturken, NYU
