The essay examines how Linda Fregni Nagler's work "Things that Death Cannot Destroy" retraces the history of the gaze on otherness, showing the burning obsession that, since the nineteenth century, has driven Western society in particular to collect people, objects and places through photography, with a dual purpose: to discover what was still unknown in the most remote corners of the Earth, generating wonder and knowledge, and to exercise a specific visual regime, which is still an effective form of control today.

Abstract

The essay examines how Linda Fregni Nagler's work "Things that Death Cannot Destroy" retraces the history of the gaze on otherness, showing the burning obsession that, since the nineteenth century, has driven Western society in particular to collect people, objects and places through photography, with a dual purpose: to discover what was still unknown in the most remote corners of the Earth, generating wonder and knowledge, and to exercise a specific visual regime, which is still an effective form of control today.
