- Death, Image, Memory (Palgrave, 2017) draws on a decade of research and multiple fieldwork visits to Rwanda. It deals specifically with the photographic and filmic responses to the genocide against the Tutsi. Its theoretical concerns about the relationship between image, evidence and memory are accompanied by media ethnographies and participant observation (Kigali Genocide Memorial; three editions of the Rwanda Film Festival) and original interviews with filmmakers, activists from survivors’ associations, memorial museum curators and Rwandan film industry professionals. The book explores rarely discussed Rwandan visual culture (professional as well as vernacular) alongside international output.
