Photojournalism and the US-led invasion of Afghanistan
No full textThis chapter’s examination of the evolving dynamics of photo-reportage concerned with the US-led coalition’s invasion of Afghanistan war identifies and interrogates tensions in contrasting visual repertoires in its early months. In delving into the ‘mythological power’ of imagery – to borrow Kennicott’s (2021) phrase – I shall prioritise for elucidation the conditions of possibility and prohibition for photojournalistic evidence-seeking over this initial phase of the military campaign.

In bringing together these respective set of debates, primarily from British and US contexts, this article aims to contribute to conceptual efforts to further unravel the ways in which journalists’ routine, everyday choices about what to report – how best to do it, and why –involves them in a politics of mediation, one where all too often a culture of othering proves significant
