Yet in an age when experience is so intensely mediated by visual records, the realization that knowledge gained through sight is inherently fallible takes on troubling new dimensions. This book considers the ways in which seeing, over time, has become the foundation for what we think we know. Through a series of linked case studies that highlight moments of seeming disconnect between seeing and believing--hoaxes, miracles, spirit paintings, manipulated photographs, and holograms, to name a few--A. Joan Saab interrogates the relationship between "visions" and visuality. Accessibly written and thoroughly enlightening, Objects of Vision is a concise history of the connections between seeing and knowing that will appeal to students and teachers of visual studies and sensory, social, and cultural history."--back cover. 330 $a"Examines a series of linked case studies that not only highlight moments of seeming disconnect between seeing and believing, including hoaxes, miracles, spirit paintings, manipulated photographs, and holograms, but also offer a sensory history of ways of seeing"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aPerspectives on sensory history. 606 $aVisual perception 606 $aArt$xPsychological aspects 615 0$aVisual perception. 615 0$aArt$xPsychological aspects. 676 $a152.14 700 $aSaab$b A.
