"I found the volume to be consistently stimulating and was excited
by a new visual anthropology dwelling not in the image but in how
people actually look and see...and important and timely volume that
does much to further our understanding of vision. It will be of
great interest to researchers and students concerned with studies
of sensory perceptions." . Social Anthropology
Most arguments for a rediscovery of the body and the senses
hinge on a critique of "visualism" in our globalized, technified
society. This approach has led to a lack of actual research on the
processes of visual "enskillment." Providing a comprehensive
spectrum of case studies in relevant contexts, this volume raises
the issue of the rehabilitation of vision and contextualizes vision
in the contemporary debate on the construction of local knowledge
vs. the hegemony of the socio-technical network. By maintaining an
ethnographic approach, the book provides practical examples that
are both accessible to undergraduate students and informative for
an academic audience."
