Gabriela Polit Dueñas analyzes the work of five narrative journalists from three countries. Marcela Turati, Daniela Rea, and Sandra Rodriguez from Mexico, Patricia Nieto from Colombia, and María Eugenia Ludueña from Argentina produce compelling literary works, but also work under dangerous, intense conditions. What drives and shapes their stories are their affective responses to the events and people they cover. The book offers an insightful analysis of the emotional challenges, the stress and traumatic conditions journalists face when reporting on the region’s most pressing problems. It combines ethnographic observations of the journalists’ work, textual analysis, and a theoretical reflection on the ethical dilemmas journalists confront on a daily basis. Unwanted Witnesses puts forward a necessary discussion about the place contemporary journalists occupy in the field of production, and how the risks they run speak directly about the limits of our democracies.
Gabriela Polit Dueñas analiza el trabajo de cinco periodistas de tres países distintos: Marcela Turati, Daniela Rea y Sandra Rodríguez Nieto, de México; Patricia Nieto, de Colombia, y María Eugenia Ludueña, de Argentina, reconocidas por su periodismo literario, resultado de su calidad y mérito al ejercer su profesión en condiciones de extremo peligro. La autora afirma que lo que impulsa y define la escritura de las periodistas es cómo retratan la respuesta afectiva que las situaciones provocan tanto en ellas como en las personas involucradas. El volumen analiza los desafíos emocionales, el estrés y las traumáticas condiciones que se enfrentan en las más opresivas circunstancias de sus regiones. Polit Dueñas combina el trabajo periodístico con análisis textuales y reflexiones teóricas acerca de los dilemas éticos que se deben confrontar en el periodismo.
