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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInnovative and insightful, \u003ci\u003eVisual Alterity\u003c\/i\u003e merges film theory with philosophy and cutting-edge science to propose new ways of perceiving and knowing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Randall Halle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43572065665206,"sku":"9780252043703","price":95.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9780252043703.jpg?v=1726054157","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/visual-alterity","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
