520 |a Mixing self-selected images of abuse from the Abu Ghraib prison scandal with religious imagery, this paper gives a commentary on the offences committed there. The author notes that this paper is not intended to be an in-depth historical or sociological treatise explaining the abuse at Abu Ghraib. Rather, this paper is a visual semiotic experiment crafted primarily to combat a moral blindness that allows individuals to ignore, or even to justify, such degradation and brutality. By appropriating and re-mixing these images, this work seeks to transform them into messages that call out and question religious, cultural, and political justifications for the use of torture.
