The Third Eye by Fatimah Tobing Rony
Charting the intersection of technology and ideology, cultural production and social science, this title explores early-twentieth-century representations of non-Western indigenous peoples in films ranging from the documentary to the spectacular to the scientific.
“The Third Eye is an extraordinary contribution to both film history and the theorization of the ethnographic gazeInformed by Rony’s close involvement with contemporary art practice and documentary film production, this fascinating book breaks with familiar genres of academic writing to provide an exciting new take on practices of ethnographic looking, the cultural history of the body, and the racial and sexual politics of visual culture in colonial science.”—Lisa Cartwright, University of Rochester
