EES5E15- Thinking visually.

Ocularcentrism is a perceptual and epistemological bias, ranking vision over other senses in Western cultures. It includes a preference for the written, rather than spoken, word. In this conversation we consider how using and making visual artefacts of all sorts is an under-developed area of pedagogy - but one full of potential given the technologies we have daily access to. "We say that ‘seeing is believing’, ‘see for yourself’, and ‘I'll believe it when I see it with my own eyes’. When we understand we say, ‘I see’. We ‘see eye to eye’ when we agree. We imagine situations ‘in the mind's eye’. ‘See what I mean?’ Commentators such as McLuhan argue that literacy and the printed word have played a key part in the elevation of the eye to such primacy as a way of knowing."
