Over three sessions, we will discuss The Ecological Approach to Visual Perception by James J. Gibson. In this book, Gibson discusses perception from an ecological point of view. The author explores the connection between the mind, the body and the environment in order to demonstrate what natural vision is all about.
For this session we will read:
- Gibson, James J. 2014 [1979]. The Ecological Approach to Visual Perception (taylorfrancis.com). Psychology Press.
- In the second session, we will read Part II.
About the reading group:
Mats Haraldsen and Sarah Bro Trasmundi organise an exploratory reading group, where we read a mix of stories and academic texts. The aim is to discuss readings that we have wanted to read for some time — or simply read a text again and discuss it with people coming from completely different fields. No specific field expertise is required to join.
People can join as they please — and should not feel obliged to attend every time or for all readings of a text. However, let us know prior to each session if you plan on attending, by contacting mats.haraldsen@ilos.uio.no or sarbro@sdu.dk.
