Original decorated wrappers. Condizione: New. No Dust Jacket. First Edition. With illustrations. Light shelfwear.; Unwatchable is a groundbreaking anthology that probes the tension between what we see and what we cannot bear to watch. Edited by Nicholas Baer, Maggie Hennefeld, Laura Horak, and Gunnar Iversen, this multidisciplinary volume brings together over 50 essays from leading scholars, artists, critics, and curators to explore why certain visual contentâ"whether from news media, horror films, or transgressive artâ"provokes aversion, refusal, or moral unease. Richly diverse in perspective, these contributions blend cultural theory, media studies, film criticism, and ethics to trace the contours of the "unwatchable" in our screen-saturated culture. At once intellectually rigorous and emotionally provocative, this book challenges readers to reflect on the limits of spectatorship and the political, aesthetic, and philosophical forces that shape what we chooseâ"or are forcedâ"not to see.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; x, 402 pages.…
