{"product_id":"9780520937826","title":"Carnal Thoughts: Embodiment and Moving Image Culture","description":"In these innovative essays, Vivian Sobchack considers the key role our bodies play in making sense of today's image-saturated culture. 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.","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47123035422960,"sku":"9780520937826","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780520937826_p0.jpg?v=1763710537","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780520937826","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
