| Sumario: | Sylvie Rollet's 'Una ética de la mirada: El cine frente a la catástrofe, desde Alain Resnais a Rithy Panh' examines the ethical implications of cinematic representations of historical catastrophes. The book delves into how filmmakers like Alain Resnais, Harun Farocki, Atom Egoyan, Claude Lanzmann, and Rithy Panh portray events such as the Holocaust, the Armenian Genocide, and the Khmer Rouge regime. Rollet explores the concept of 'Catastrophe' as a profound rupture in human history and the role of cinema in bearing witness to these events. Drawing on Walter Benjamin's ideas, Rollet presents an 'archaeology of vision' that scrutinizes the intersection of ethics, image, and historical memory. Her work challenges traditional narratives and emphasizes the responsibility of both filmmakers and audiences in engaging with these visual testimonies. The book targets scholars and readers interested in film studies, ethics, and history.
