Summary, etc. Azoulay argues that photography is not just an image but a political act that creates a “civil contract” between photographer, subject, and viewer. She contends that every photograph of others—especially those in vulnerable or violent situations—calls on viewers to recognize the photographed person as a fellow citizen with rights, regardless of legal or national status. By framing photography as a civic encounter rather than mere representation, Azoulay highlights its potential to resist oppression and build ethical responsibility across borders.
