Scenes of Attention: Essays on Mind, Time, and the Senses Burnett D. Graham
Are we paying enough attention? Why is there such great anxiety over attention? At least since the nineteenth century, critics have alleged a widespread and profound failure of attentiveness--to others, to ourselves, to the world around us, to what is truly worthy of focus.
Each chapter begins with a concrete scene whose protagonists are trying--and often failing--to attend. What is at stake in understanding attention and the challenges it faces?This book investigates attention from a range of disciplinary perspectives, including philosophy, history, anthropology, art history, and comparative literature. Authors examine key moments in the history of the study of attention; pose attention as a philosophical problem; explore the links between attention, culture, and technology; and consider the significance of attention for conceptualizations of human subjectivity.
