Product Description
Review
"Carnal Thoughts wonderfully conveys the phenomenological aim of Sobchack's work. It is an important contribution to the field. It is also accessible and almost scandalously fun to read. The voice of a wise, eloquent, and witty woman emerges from these pages and keeps the reader constantly engaged." - Linda Williams, author of Playing the Race Card; "Powerfully written and movingly personal, Carnal Thoughts consistently demonstrates what an embodied film criticism might actually be. Sobchack is insistent, impassioned, and persuasive in her attempt to show how cinematic spectatorship is always more than visual. The scholarship is superior, the organization is strong, and the literary style is accomplished, engaging, and polished. This is an extremely important work." - Patrice Petro, author of Aftershocks of the New"

First Sentence
What does it mean to be embodied in the multiple and shifting spaces of the world-not only the familiar spaces that seem of our own making and whose meanings we take up and live as "given" but also those spaces that seem to us strange or "foreign" in their shape and value? Read the first page

Phenomenology and film
14 Aug 2007
Format:Paperback
This book is part of the author's long theoretical project during which Vivian Sobchack tries to apply the assumptions and approach of philosophical phenomenology to film theory. Sobchack's theory is based mainly on the work of French philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty - for more details regarding Sobchack's theory, see her earlier book entitled "The Address of the Eye: A Phenomenology of Film Experience".
Beside it's marvulous theoretical performance this book is very intelligently written, full of creative language-use. However it could raise only the interest of film scholars interested deeply in film theory, and trained a little bit in philosophy.
