Cover; Watching Babylon: The war in Iraq and global visual culture; Copyright; Contents; List of figures; Prologue: Babylonian modernity; Section 1: Babylon, Long Island; Section 2: The banality of images; Section 3: The empire of camps; Afterword: Afterimages; Notes and references; Index.

Summary: Groundbreaking and compelling, Watching Babylon examines the experience of watching the war against Iraq on television, on the internet, in the cinema and in print media. Mirzoeff shows how the endless stream of images flowing from the Gulf has necessitated a new form of visual thinking, one which recognises that the war has turned images themselves into weapons. Drawing connections between the history and legend of ancient Babylon, the metaphorical Babylon of Western modernity, and everyday life in the modern suburb of Babylon, New York, Mirzoeff explores ancient concerns which have found new.
