Halle draws on insights from philosophy and recent developments in cognitive and neuroscience to argue that there is no pure \"natural\" sight. We always see in a particular way, from a particular vantage point, and through a specific apparatus, and Halle shows how human beings have used cinema to experiment with the apparatus of seeing for over a century. Visual alterity goes beyond seeing difference to being conscious of how one sees difference. Investigating the process allows us to move from mere perception to apperception, or conscious perception.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInnovative and insightful, \u003ci\u003eVisual Alterity\u003c\/i\u003e merges film theory with philosophy and cutting-edge science to propose new ways of perceiving and knowing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Randall Halle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 025208568X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780252085680\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Illinois Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2022","brand":"Randall Halle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44491689918719,"sku":"9780252085680","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6e64997d-e676-4c70-ac73-e9201be3fd1b.jpg?v=1699452660","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/visual-alterity-randall-halle-9780252085680","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
