In the age of fake news, remix and the limitless manipulability of digital imagery, \u003ci\u003eReuse, Misuse, Abuse\u003c\/i\u003e brings together major questions and current debates around the ethical boundaries between revelation, distortion, and exploitation when original images and sounds are reworked and repurposed to create a 'layered gaze' of new meanings. \u003ci\u003eReuse, Misuse, Abuse\u003c\/i\u003e is clearly written, well-argued and Baron's astute readings of a wide range of recent film and media works show the complexities of the ethical and political stakes involved.

Every reuse of a preexisting recording is, on some level, a misuse in that it was not intended or at least anticipated by the original maker, but not all misuses are necessarily unethical. In fact, there are many instances of productive misuse that seem justified. At the same time, there are other instances in which the \u003ci\u003emisuse\u003c\/i\u003e shades into \u003ci\u003eabuse\u003c\/i\u003e. Documentary scholars have long engaged with the question of the ethical responsibility of documentary makers in relation to their subjects. But what happens when this responsibility is set at a remove, when the recording already exists for the taking and repurposing? \u003ci\u003eReuse, Misuse and Abuse\u003c\/i\u003e surveys a range of contemporary films and videos that appropriate preexisting footage and attempts to theorize their ethical implications.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003e Introduction \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Reuse, Misuse, Abuse\u003cbr\u003e 1 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e (Re)exposing Intimate Traces\u003cbr\u003e 2 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Speaking through Others\u003cbr\u003e 3 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Dislocating the Hegemonic Gaze\u003cbr\u003e 4 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Reframing the Perpetrator's Gaze\u003cbr\u003e 5 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Abusing Images\u003cbr\u003e Filmography\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52563732693272,"sku":"9780813599274","price":91.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/reuse-misuse-abuse-the-ethics-of-audiovisual-appropriation-in-the-digital-era-hardback-9780813599274","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
