Emphasizing our corporeal rather than our intellectual engagements with film and other media, 'Carnal Thoughts 'shows how our experience always emerges through our senses and how our bodies are not just visible objects but also sense-making, visual subjects. Sobchack draws on both phenomenological philosophy and a broad range of popular sources to explore bodily experience in contemporary, moving-image culture. She examines how, through the conflation of cinema and surgery, we've all "had our eyes done" why we are "moved" by the movies and the different ways in which we inhabit photographic, cinematic, and electronic space. 'Carnal Thoughts 'provides a lively and engaging challenge to the mind/body split by demonstrating that the process of "making sense" requires an irreducible collaboration between our thoughts and our senses.
