Description

[Machine Translation] Every day we receive a great deal of information from our five senses: sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste. Among these, sight occupies a privileged position, and it is said that 80 to 90% of the information we obtain from the outside world comes from sight. So, what happens to the body and the way we perceive the world if we remove the sense we rely on the most, sight? The author, who specializes in aesthetics and contemporary art, analyzes the spatial perception of the visually impaired, how they use their senses, how they use their bodies, how they communicate, and humor as a strategy for survival. While approaching the (ways of) seeing of the blind, he also questions the very nature of (seeing) itself.

Description in Japanese

目の見えない人は世界をどう見ているのか (光文社新書) / 伊藤亜紗/著

私たちは日々、五感―視覚・聴覚・嗅覚・触覚・味覚―からたくさんの情報を得て生きている。なかでも視覚は特権的な位置を占め、人間が外界から得る情報の八~九割は視覚に由来すると言われている。では、私たちが最も頼っている視覚という感覚を取り除いてみると、身体は、そして世界の捉え方はどうなるのか―?美学と現代アートを専門とする著者が、視覚障害者の空間認識、感覚の使い方、体の使い方、コミュニケーションの仕方、生きるための戦略としてのユーモアなどを分析。目の見えない人の「見方」に迫りながら、「見る」ことそのものを問い直す。
