Rezensionen

"Remediated Witnessing explores the reframing of the witnessed event in visual culture, fiction, and digital media. In the book, Rachel Gregory Fox showcases her exceptionally strong theoretical and interdisciplinary research into literary and cultural studies. Her emphasis on counter-stereotypical depictions of and by women from Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran from 2000 to the present has an urgent decolonising agenda. Intersectionality as a lens is also crucial to Gregory Fox, and she persuasively shows the theory's shifting parameters and ongoing relevance. Remediated Witnessing is therefore complex work, designed not just to make you think but to inspire action."

Claire Chambers, Professor of Global Literature, University of York

"Could there be a timelier book than Remediated Witnessing? It asks us to look carefully at how we view the experience of women in contemporary Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran and offers a complex account of how the experience of 'Muslim' women has been shaped. Gregory Fox calls for better, more honest witnessing that can soften our perspective and allow us to locate resistance in the most elusive of spaces."
