As a cultural critic, he warned of its surreptitious ability to lead the enthralled spectator toward an acceptance of a pre-given world. As a leftist, he understood that spectacle could be turned against itself and provoke deep questioning of that pre-given world. And as an extraordinarily sensitive human being, he relished the beauty of images and the community they could bring together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip Watts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0190277556\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190277550\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e OUP Us\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/30\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.40w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2016","brand":"Philip Watts","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47520228802815,"sku":"9780190277550","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_529df57a-cecf-4baa-bff1-172ad0c4064c.jpg?v=1762884324","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/roland-barthes-cinema-p-philip-watts-9780190277550","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
