Ellen Grabiner, Ph.D., is a visual artist and writer who teaches visual cultural studies and cinema and media studies in the communications department at Simmons College in Boston.

“Grabiner, examines theoretical and philosophical issues involving James Cameron’s Avatar, discussing how the film combines the seer and the seen in an alternative visual paradigm”—Reference & Research Book News; “I See You offers a cogent examination of the somatic experience of seeing films in 3D. Since this technology grows in popularity, Grabiner’s book heralds a major advance in film theory.”—Brian Winkenweder, associate professor and chair, Department of Art and Visual Culture, Linfield College
