Acquiring Eyes : Philippine Visuality,

Acquiring Eyes directs incisive but at the same time admiring attention to H. R. Ocampo, Lino Brocka, Ishmael Bernal, and Emmanuel Garibay¿four masters, the original and complex visuality of whose genre-specific efforts to parlay Philippine social dynamics into visual practices of engagement, struggle, and transcendence have produced for each of them a much-deserved and committed local following.

Jonathan Beller is Associate Professor of English and Humanities and Critical Visual Studies at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York.
