Emphasizing our corporeal rather than our intellectual engagements with film and other media, \u003ci\u003eCarnal Thoughts \u003c\/i\u003eshows how our experience always emerges through our senses and how our bodies are not just visible objects but also sense-making, visual subjects. Sobchack draws on both phenomenological philosophy and a broad range of popular sources to explore bodily experience in contemporary, moving-image culture. She examines how, through the conflation of cinema and surgery, we've all \"had our eyes done\"; why we are \"moved\" by the movies; and the different ways in which we inhabit photographic, cinematic, and electronic space. \u003ci\u003eCarnal Thoughts \u003c\/i\u003eprovides a lively and engaging challenge to the mind\/body split by demonstrating that the process of \"making sense\" requires an irreducible collaboration between our thoughts and our senses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vivian Sobchack\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520241290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520241299\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.12w x 0.78d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2005 pg. 1596","brand":"Vivian Sobchack","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43996769288447,"sku":"9780520241299","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3abf6464-2328-4735-95fb-394061599596.jpg?v=1683343581","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/carnal-thoughts-vivian-sobchack-9780520241299","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
