The Tactile Eye by Jennifer M. Barker
Touch and the Cinematic Experience
A phenomenological account of film viewing that argues cinema addresses the whole body, not just the eyes, proposing a tactile, haptic mode of spectatorship that unfolds across skin, muscles, and viscera. Through close readings of diverse films, it shows how texture, rhythm, sound, and camera movement can “touch” the viewer, creating an intersubjective encounter with the screen and reframing style, emotion, and meaning as fundamentally embodied experiences.
