[Frameworks] haptic correction

[Bernard Roddy]

Oh wait, Bruno has a chapter on Greenaway, too.  At any rate, Bruno resists the 
critique of optical vision that Marks develops in Skin.

Great topic, Jon, and indeed huge.  I don't think Marks would accept  that an 
eye can be "untutored."  Such a conception of vision divorces it  from the 
body's corporeal and cultural history, and in her book The  Skin of the Film she 
focuses on intercultural cinema in order to explore  a vision that draws on 
these different cultural and sensory pasts.  The  other notion of "haptic 
vision" discussed in relation to film that I  have encountered is Guiliana 
Bruno's.  In her book Atlas of Emotion such  vision has more to do with a 
"tender mapping" of architectural space.   Marks is great on artist's film and 
video, while Bruno only gets as far  as Alain Resnais.  And Marks is 
theoretically quite  substantial, whereas Bruno is charmed and poetic, dancing 
through  beautiful threads between here to way over there.

I  just wanted to thank everyone who responded to my post, I'm overwhelmed  by 
everyone's generosity and support, I will definitely  be taking a further look 
at all of the suggested reading and films  everyone pointed me towards.

Thanks again,
