Abstract
This special issue of Image [&] Narrative examines the mediation of fraught images in a contemporary public sphere, and within that orbit, the unique role that the photofilmic may play with regard to their production, circulation, and reception. The essays compiled here originate from a symposium held in October 2013 in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, where participants debated the double predicament of fraught images in the mass media – their excessive emotional charge as well as their abstracted vacuity, both hindering the creation of an “informed” public.
