Sinopse

Television and the state of exception of the image. In "Glass Eye," Marcia goes beyond dissecting the problematization of the visual being. She addresses the formation of the viewer's subjectivity in times of annihilation of the free and reflective figure of the subject. More than a critique of television, it is a demand for a balanced politics between lucidity and sensitivity. A work beyond theory, in tune with those who study, make, and watch television. "The intention of showing what the biopolitically controlled gaze is like is not merely theoretical, but a sign of the ethical behavior of theory," argues Márcia. Granddaughter of photography, daughter of cinema and radio, television is, in the system of managing the sensitive, a powerful mechanism and even the logic that governs the world of visual experience, defining it as televisual. Like an eviscerated eye, television is part of the evolutionary history of vision. Before becoming part of the media, before being a means of mass communication, television is a mechanism of vision that emerged in the age of technical imaging. Just as the visual arts, from painting to cinema, were a self-conscious positioning of visual resources and their expression, television needs to be interpreted from the perspective of the history of vision. Communication sciences are dedicated to understanding television, but it increasingly needs to be included within the field of Visual Studies, understanding it in the context of aesthetic experience, given that this connection with aesthetics determines its political aspects. "Glass Eye" does just that. As Mônica Waldvogel says in the blurb, it's a dive into the intermittent and uninterrupted, fragmented, fast-paced, and omnipresent spectacle of TV. Without rancor or accusations. And with the authority of someone who philosophizes and also knows the fascination of television inside and out.
