Abstract (en)

The author defines an anti-ocularcentric tradition that began in the late 19th c. (e.g., with Nietzsche, Bergson, Proust, and the Impressionists) and has developed over the course of the 20th c. in the thought of Bataille, Merleau-Ponty, Sartre, Lacan, Foucault, and others; the reviewer finds that the author's accounts of these last three tend to blur the differences between a theory of the gaze that has a salutary subversive effect on the subject's narcissistic fantasies and a critique of a particular historical appropriation of vision and its deployment in the interests of normalization and social control.
