In ten chapters, he explores the relations between photographic images and the human body.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWinner of the 2007 Dorothy Lee Award, Media Ecology Association One of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 2006 \"The prose is jargon-free, lucid, and, at its best, poignant, especially when the author writes about the now-grown child subjects of his treasured postcard collection... [MacDougall] urges scholars to see the visual as a complement rather than as a substitute for the verbal, as a language with its own vocabulary and potential. Given the author's obvious accomplishments in both forms, his long and successful career stands as the best evidence for the validity of his argument.\"--Richard John Ascarate, MEDIEN\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIllustrations ix Acknowledgments xiii INTRODUCTION: Meaning and Being 1   PART I: MATTER AND IMAGE 11   CHAPTER 1: The Body in Cinema 13 CHAPTER 2: Voice and Vision 32   PART II:IMAGES OF CHILDHOOD 65   CHAPTER 3: Films of Childhood 67 CHAPTER 4: Social Aesthetics and the Doon School 94 CHAPTER 5: Doon School Reconsidered 120   PART III:THE PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGINATION 145   CHAPTER 6: Photo Hierarchicus:  Signs and Mirrors in Indian Photography 147 CHAPTER 7: Staging the Body: The Photography of Jean Audema 176   PART IV:THE ETHNOGRAPHIC IMAGINATION 211   CHAPTER 8: The Visual in Anthropology 213 CHAPTER 9: Anthropology 's Lost Vision 227 CHAPTER 10: New Principles of Visual Anthropology 264   Filmography 275 Bibliography 283 Index 299","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49403735736663,"sku":"9780691121567","price":31.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780691121567.jpg?v=1730484396","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-corporeal-image-9780691121567","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
