Drawing upon psychoanalytic theory (not Lacan’s), Lisa Cartwright writes with both passion and skepticism about—and around—a selection of films that foreground the radically ethical nature of human communication, reminding us that film studies can change not only the way we see films but also the way we view our lives.”—\u003cb\u003eVivian Sobchack\u003c\/b\u003e, author of \u003ci\u003eCarnal Thoughts: Embodiment and Moving Image Culture\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Uncovering alternative traditions in the psychoanalytic study of affect and object relations, while pairing them with deep explorations of American and continental moral philosophy, Lisa Cartwright proposes a series of arguments that will radically remap our understanding of spectatorship and identification. \u003ci\u003eMoral Spectatorship\u003c\/i\u003e is a path-breaking book and perhaps the first entirely new approach to subject, empathy, and affect in visual cultural studies to have appeared in the new millennium.”—\u003cb\u003eD.
