Description
The Tactile Eye: A Sensuous Exchange with Cinema Jennifer M. Barker's exploration of film and its viewers delves into the visceral connection between the two, revealing a deeply tactile experience that transcends visual and auditory boundaries. Barker combines analysis of embodiment and phenomenological film theory to provide an expansive description of cinematic tactility, examining a range of films from ten national cinemas, including works by notable directors such as Chuck Jones, Buster Keaton, and Satyajit Ray. Her approach considers the ways in which cinema engages with the body, beyond mere visual and auditory stimulation. Through her study, Barker sheds light on the complex and multifaceted nature of cinematic experience, inviting readers to reconsider their relationship with film.
