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 \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-321313\"\u003eVivian Sobchack\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\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\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520241299\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520241290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-PER\"\u003ePerforming Arts\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-PER004030\"\u003eFilm | History \u0026amp; Criticism\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eVivian Sobchack\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor and Associate Dean in the School of Theater, Film, and Television at the University of California, Los Angeles.
