Perceptual Interception: Movement, Agency and Blindness in a Sensorial Public
+ Elizabeth Sheeler

Under peer review with Global Performance Studies Journal, issue 9.1

What do I need? What do I desire? Where am I going?

This staunchly non-visual audio essay explores a Western philosophy of knowledge that prioritizes sight as a primary method of knowing, both about one’s world and one’s self. In an urban geography where agency is primarily defined by what one can see, Elizabeth Sheeler, a blind artist and writer, describes her daily movement.
