Zum Betrachten der Folterbilder aus Abu Ghraib

Abstract

One year ago in German feuilletons, disgust and abhorrence were one of the first reactions on the publication of the photos of torture. Especially on the photos with Lynndie England. The paper follows this reactions of disgust and asks for the meaning of the pictures in the cultural imaginary of the west.
