Description
Staring: How We Look by Rosemarie Garland-Thomson explores one of the most fundamental human interactions that has remained surprisingly unexamined - the act of staring. Drawing on examples from art, media, fashion, history and memoir, Garland-Thomson delves into the factors that motivate staring, its targets and effects. Through a combination of psychological, biological and cultural perspectives, this book sheds new light on why the impulse to stare is so powerful. Featuring over forty illustrations, Staring offers a thought-provoking analysis of visuality and the body, challenging readers to consider their own responses to staring in a more engaged way. Elegant and provocative, this unique study will appeal to those interested in the overlap between the humanities and human behaviour.
