- The book Cinema of the Dark Side: Atrocity and the Ethics of Film Spectatorship (Edinburgh, 2014) is the product of five years’ research. Drawing on multiple disciplinary perspectives (film studies, human rights and philosophy) and taking a transnational approach, it investigates 21st-century cinematic images of state-sponsored atrocity in the shadow of post-9/11 developments. It explores the themes in different contexts, allowing connections to emerge between them, including the US-led ‘War on Terror’, the Holocaust, the Rwandan genocide, enforced disappearances in Latin America, the politics of immigration controls in the UK, the US-Mexico border and South Africa, and Israel-Palestine.
