Hitchcock and the Cinema of Sensations: Embodied Film Theory and Cinematic Reception

When we talk of 'seeing' a film, we do not refer to a purely visual experience. Rather, to understand what we see on screen, we rely as much on non-visual senses as we do on sight. This book rethinks the body in the cinema seat, charting the emergence of embodied film theory and the developments in philosophy, neuroscience, and film theory.
