I was a student in the '60s, a time of social upheaval and questioning,

În anii ’60 eram student; era o perioadă de transformare socială şi contestare,
00:24
and -- on a personal level -- an awakening sense of idealism.

iar la nivel personal a fost o perioadă caracterizată de un stimulant impuls idealist.
00:28
The war in Vietnam was raging, the Civil Rights movement was under way

În Vietnam se dezlănţuise războiul, Mişcarea pentru Drepturi Civile era în plină desfăşurare,
00:33
and pictures had a powerful influence on me.

iar fotografiile aveau o puternică influenţă asupra mea.
00:36
Our political and military leaders were telling us one thing
4
17283
3623
Liderii noştri politici şi militari ne spuneau ceva,
00:39
and photographers were telling us another.
5
20906
2713
fotografii ne spuneau altceva.
00:42
I believed the photographers and so did millions of other Americans.
6
23619
4544
Am dat crezare fotografilor şi la fel au făcut milioane de Americani.
00:47
Their images fuelled resistance to the war and to racism.
7
28163
4161
Imaginile capturate de aceşti fotografi au alimentat rezistenţa faţă de război şi rasism.
00:51
They not only recorded history -- they helped change the course of history.
8
32324
4644
Nu numai că au imortalizat istoria, dar au ajutat la schimbarea cursului său.
00:55
Their pictures became part of our collective consciousness
9
36968
3618
Fotografiile lor au devenit o parte din conştiinţa nostră colectivă.
00:59
and, as consciousness evolved into a shared sense of conscience,
10
40586
3893
Şi cum conştiinţa a evoluat într-un simţ comun al conştiinţei,
01:03
change became not only possible, but inevitable.
11
44479
3288
schimbarea a devenit nu numai posibilă ci şi inevitabilă.
01:06
It puts a human face on issues which, from afar,
12

Aceste fotografii dau o înfăţişare umană problemelor care, de departe,
01:10
can appear abstract or ideological or monumental in their global impact.
13
51518
5407
pot părea abstracte, ideologice, monumentale, dat fiind impactul global pe care îl au.
01:15
What happens at ground level, far from the halls of power,
14
56925
4645
Departe de cercurile puterii,
01:20
happens to ordinary citizens one by one.
15
61570
3422
lucrurile se întamplă la nivel individual, se întamplă oamenilor obişnuiţi.
01:23
And I understood that documentary photography
16
64992
2323
Am înţeles astfel că fotografia documentară
01:26
has the ability to interpret events from their point of view.
17
67315
4490
permite interpretarea evenimentelor din punctul lor de vedere, al oamenilor obişnuiţi.
01:30
It gives a voice to those who otherwise would not have a voice.

Dă glas celor ce altminteri nu ar avea glas.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
James Nachtwey - PhotojournalistPhotojournalist James Nachtwey is considered by many to be the greatest war photographer of recent decades. He has covered conflicts and major social issues in more than 30 countries.
Why you should listen
For the past three decades, James Nachtwey has devoted himself to documenting wars, conflicts and critical social issues, working in El Salvador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Lebanon, the West Bank and Gaza, Israel, Indonesia, Thailand, India, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, the Philippines, South Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Rwanda, South Africa, Russia, Bosnia, Chechnya, Kosovo, Romania, Brazil and the United States.
Nachtwey has been a contract photographer with Time since 1984. However, when certain stories he wanted to cover -- such as Romanian orphanages and famine in Somalia -- garnered no interest from magazines, he self-financed trips there. He is known for getting up close to his subjects, or as he says, "in the same intimate space that the subjects inhabit," and he passes that sense of closeness on to the viewer.
In putting himself in the middle of conflict, his intention is to record the truth, to document the struggles of humanity, and with this, to wake people up and stir them to action.
