Ante el dolor de los demás: una relectura de Susan Sontag

Share
The article proposes a rereading of the last Susan Sontag’s book Regarding the Pain of Others, in which the subjectivation process and the alterity are discussed from the perspective of the other’s pain. It proposes a reflexion about the concepts of power, pain and fear, and how they are conducted and transformed by means of the mass media and public opinion. The other’s pain, properly approached, can be useful to get people together or separate them, to heal or cause harm. The final conclusion leads us to decide what we want it to be for us ​
