Homo spectator, Marie José Mondzain

“I wanted, in this book, to make of the birth of the spectator the birth of the human subject. I wanted to show that the question of the image and the spectacle was anthropologically anchored since the birth of humanity.” MJM.

The question of the image, its adventure and its nature, have always been at the heart of Marie-José Mondzain's thinking. For the philosopher, there are images that take the word and images that give it. This book explores the political regime of a device of the image, a time and a space, as a meeting place for those who look at it,” dixit Marta Gili.
