Laura Wilson 
Spectatorship, Embodiment and Physicality in the Contemporary Mutilation Film 

Spectatorship, Embodiment and Physicality in the Contemporary Mutilation Film explores ‘physical spectatorship’: the representation of mutilation on the screen and the physical responses this evokes. The book is organised around the study of a series of dynamic engagements that reconfigure the film-viewer relationship.
