AB - The purpose of this study is to analyze how and with what effects the death photography is used in media. The death photography represents a social conflict in a certain perspective by inflicting emotional impact to mass. It gives a symbolic meaning to the conflict and becomes a kind of icon which can have a big influence on the situation. By representing victims of violence, the death photography demands our critical reflexivity and ethical responsibility. It urges us to intervene politically to solve the problems. The sudden encounter with death photograph of other people, victims of violences, stimulate a strong emotional reaction. The density of this emotional reaction is determined by the aesthetic composition of the photograph and by the physical, psychological gap. This emotional reaction makes us enter into an ethical, political field which is different from the everyday life field.
