It focuses on what makes visual language unique, arguing that the affective quality of art contributes to a new understanding of the experience of trauma and loss. By extending the concept of empathy, it also demonstrates how we might, through art, make connections with people in different parts of the world whose experiences differ from our own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book makes a distinct contribution to trauma studies, which has tended to concentrate on literary forms of expression. It also offers a sophisticated theoretical analysis of the operations of art, drawing on philosophers such as Gilles Deleuze, but setting this within a postcolonial framework.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEmpathic Vision\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal to anyone interested in the role of culture in post-September 11 global politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This is an insightful, timely book....Thought-provoking and at times startling, \u003ci\u003eEmpathic Vision\u003c\/i\u003e opens up new ideas that stay with you long after you have closed its covers.\" -- \u003ci\u003eLeonardo Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e@fmct:Contents  @toc4:List of Illustrations\tiii  Acknowledgments\tiii  @toc2:Chapter 1: On the Subject of Trauma\t000  Chapter 2: Insides, Outsides: Trauma, Affect, and Art\t000  Chapter 3: The Force of Trauma\t000  Chapter 4: Journeys into Place\t000  Chapter 5: Face-to-Face Encounters\t000  Chapter 6: Global Interconnections\t000  Afterword: Beyond Trauma Culture\t000  @toc4:Notes\t000  Select Bibliography\t000  Index\t000","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49405561995607,"sku":"9780804751711","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780804751711.jpg?v=1730492839","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/empathic-vision-9780804751711","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
