Hi,
is it also exploitation when Sebastiao Salgado publishes photos of
famines, long after the event? How about when writers publish their
earlier newspaper articles about war and pestilence in anthologies of
journalism? What about publishers who exploit the tragedy at Pompeii
and Herculaneum by republishing Pliny's eye-witness account? Goya's
drawings of war, where do they fit in this scheme?
Please note that I'm not comparing these pictures of the car crash
with Goya or Salgado or Pliny - they're very boring and uninformative,
and certainly not worth 50,000 of anybody's dollars - but I'm very
interested in hearing how people justify the inconsistencies inherent
in this sort of judgement.
