Book synopsis: Sight and Embodiment in the Middle Ages traces the intersections between vision, knowledge and embodiment in the period around 1200 in Western Europe. Accounts of Western ocularcentrism have stressed the distancing and objectifying features of modern ways of seeing and knowing; this book charts the terrain of a more intimate and complex visual history. Biernoff brings postmodern writings on vision and embodiment into dialogue with medieval texts and images. By highlighting the foreignness of medieval ways of seeing – for example the idea that sight involved a physical encounter comparable to touch – modern theories of vision and the gaze lose their claim to universality
