Excellent- More about The Environmental Gaze: Reading Sartre Through Guido Van Helten's No Exit Murals
The Environmental Gaze: Reading Sartre through Guido van Heltens No Exit Murals offers an environmental reading of Sartre's theory of the gaze, demonstrating how the social worldview contributes to a progressive alienation from our bodies and the natural world, and how the artwork serves as a pivotal interruption of this alienation, inviting us to see the world anew through an inter-human-natural mode of perception.

Following Guido van Heltens provocative reimagining of Jean-Paul Sartres No Exit, The Environmental Gaze: Reading Sartre through Guido van Heltens No Exit Murals offers an environmental reading of Sartres theory of the gaze (le regard). Joe Balay argues that while Sartre is commonly associated with the longstanding human-centric bias in Western thinking, a closer reading shows that his phenomenology of vision involves a powerful environmental story. On the one hand, this is demonstrated by the way that the social worldview contributes to a progressive alienation from our bodies and the natural world around us, culminating in the loss of the Earth in Sartres play. On the other, Balay argues that the artwork serves as a pivotal interruption of this alienation, inviting us to see the world anew through an inter-human-natural mode of perception that we might call the environmental gaze. In this way, this book makes a strong case for the significance of Sartres work and for the place of art in facing our environmental reality today.
