This book builds a new understanding of the body and its
relationship to images and technology, using a framework where
novel writings of pragmatist somaesthetics and phenomenology meet
new research on bodily reactions. Max Ryynanen gives an overview of
the topic by collecting the existing information of our bodies
gazing at visual culture and the philosophies supporting these
phenomena, and examines the way the gaze and the body come together
in our relationship to culture. Themes covered include somatic
film; the body in artistic documentation of activist art; body
parts (and their mutilation or surgeries) in contemporary art and
film; robot cars and our visual relationship to them; the
usefulness of Indian rasa philosophy in explaining digital culture;
and an examination of Mario Perniola's work about the idea that we,
human beings, are increasingly experiencing ourselves to be simply
"things." The book will be of interest to scholars working in art
history, aesthetics, cultural philosophy, film studies, technology
studies, media studies, cultural studies, and visual studies.
