I provide an autoethnographic account to allow consideration of the visual dimension of humanitarian aid: everyday observations, field visits and snapshots inform humanitarian action. I intend to shed a different light on the inherent visual politics of this aid practice and, hence, build a different kind of knowledge concerning (aid assistance in) the country.}, note = {}, institution = {Universität der Bundeswehr München, Fakultät für Staats- und Sozialwissenschaften, SOWI 2 - Institut für Politikwissenschaft, Professur: Stetter, Stephan}, }
