Description
Summary:This introduction to the Special Issue explores the landscape of the anthropology of gaze by showing how it is defined as a semiotic activity at the heart of professional expertise. It points out the originality of the papers included in this Special Issue: documenting the socio-material forms of teaching beginners the ability to see through the prism of professions whose “ways of seeing” are tested, questioned, and reshaped in their foundations and boundaries. Some transversal topics are discussed such as the construction of the ability to see, its multisensorial and multimodal dimension, methodologies for exploring the learning and development of professional vision, and finally the technical and technological artifacts supporting it. The aim is to highlight the diversity of fields and approaches which explore the role of visual skills in the production, diffusion, and transformation of the “ways of seeing” characterizing different communities of practice.
