Book excerpt: Most arguments for a rediscovery of the body & the senses hinge on a critique of 'visualism' in our globalized, technified society. This text raises the issue of the rehabilitation of vision and contextualises vision in the debate on the construction of local knowledge vs. the hegemony of the socio-technical network.
