Varzi’s “The Whole World Blind” is particularly stirring for thinking about how to engage in visual and multimodal work. As she asks regarding war photographs, “What will we do with this visual information? If we do nothing, are we then simply guilty of voyeurism?” Much of the work that ethnographers engage in and with is embedded in some form of political, social, and patriarchal violence, and the resultant images and theoretical imaginings they produce can possibly contribute to this violence.
