Description of *Staring: How We Look*
Drawing on examples from art, media, fashion, history and memoir,
Garland-Thomson defines staring, explores the factors that motivate it, and
considers the targets and the effects of the stare. A bodily inventory then
enumerates how stares actually operate in daily life. Elegant and
provocative, this book advances new ways of thinking about visuality and the
body that will appeal to readers who are interested in the overlap between
the humanities and human behaviors.
