Seeing Things by Stephen Pattison
Seeing Things is a highly original book that will have appeal across humanity departments including visual studies, theology, art history, sociology, anthropology and ethics. The book considers in detail, the experience of perceiving visual objects, from high art to everyday artefacts.
A 'clear introduction to the study of visual and material culture that certainly deserves to be considered as a good and useful introductory textbook on these subjects' 'What struck me in reading this volume is ... how well it works as an introductory text book, because I can't think of another book that covers the same ground in the same way.' '[Pattison} is ... concerned to move from conventional theological reductions of the visual mainly to an interest in art and iconography to the much wider field of visual and material culture.'Professor Daniel Miller FBA, Professor of Anthropology at University College London on www.materialworldblog .com
