The publishers of Frederic J. Schwartz's Blind Spots describe it as the first book to focus on the relationship of early-twentieth-century critical theory and the (other) discourses of the visual. While Schwartz's invocation of the works of Theodor W. Adorno, Walter Benjamin, and others is provocative, it might be more accurate to describe his study as a recontextualization rather than an engagement with the heretofore ignored. The book is worthy of praise, no doubt, but the publishers seem to have sacrificed accuracy in the name of advertising, a funny thing indeed given the focus of Schwartz's impressive and interesting engagements.
