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. Innovative and insightful, Visual Alterity merges film theory with philosophy and cutting-edge science to propose new ways of perceiving and knowing"--Provided by publisher.Visual perception in motion picturesMotion picturesPhilosophyVisual perception in motion pictures.Motion picturesPhilosophy.791.4301Halle Randall1615793MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910811313403321Visual alterity4028332UNINA
