"Ghost in the Shell" Photography and the Human Soul, 1850-2000 Robert A. Sobieszek <http://mitpress.mit.edu/promotions/books/SOBGPF99> "Ghost in the Shell" takes as its premise the idea that the outer person is a reflection of the inner. Tracing the modern photographic portrait over the past 150 years, the book reveals the many ways the photographic arts have investigated, represented, interpreted, and subverted the human face and, consequently, the human spirit. 11 x 11, 336 pp., 240 illus., 90 color paper ISBN 0-262-69228-7, cloth ISBN 0-262-19425-2 Suspensions of Perception Attention, Spectacle, and Modern Culture Jonathan Crary <http://mitpress.mit.edu/promotions/books/CRASHF99> Suspensions of Perception is a historical study of human attention and its volatile role in modern Western culture. It argues that the ways in which we intently look at or listen to anything result from crucial changes in the nature of perception that can be traced back to the second half of the nineteenth century. 7 x 9, 340 pp., 86 illus., cloth ISBN 0-262-03265-1 An October Book Talking Visions Multicultural Feminism in a Transnational Age Ella Shohat, editor <http://mitpress.mit.edu/promotions/books/SHOTHF99> This multivoiced collection of essays and images presents the perspectives of activists, scholars, artists, and curators from a broad range of constituencies. Challenging traditional disciplinary and cultural boundaries, the book moves beyond any unified feminist historical narrative to present a "relational" feminism of diverse communities, affiliations, and practices. 7 x 9, 566 pp., 66 illus., cloth ISBN 0-262-19426-0 If you would prefer not to receive mailings in the future, please send a message to [email protected].
