Abstract
The focus of this essay is on the visual conditions of possibility that underpin the Abu Ghraib torture photographs. In the course of the essay, I proceed to map the codes, conventions, technologies, aesthetics, and visual archives that enable both acts of torture and their visual representation. By situating the Abu Ghraib torture photographs within Orientalist, fascist, and white supremacist shadow archives, I analyse those points of intersection between genealogies of techno-politico-military power and visual regimes of subjugation, mastery, violence, and torture.
