      What are the ethical, political and cultural consequences of forgetting how to trust our senses? How can artworks help us see, sense, think, and interact in ways that are outside of the systems of convention and order that frame so much of our lives? In Cultivating Perception through Artworks, Helen Fielding challenges us to think alongside and according to artworks, cultivating a perception of what is really there and being expressed by them. Drawing from and expanding on the work of philosophers such as Luce Irigaray and Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Fielding urges us to trust our senses and engage relationally with works of art in the here and now rather than distancing and systematizing them as aesthetic objects. Cultivating Perception through Artworks examines examples as diverse as a Rembrandt painting, M. NourbeSe Philip's poetry, and Louise Bourgeois' public sculpture, to demonstrated how artworks enact ethics, politics, or culture. By engaging with different art forms and discovering the unique way that each opens us to the world in a new and unexpected ways, Fielding reveals the importance of our moral, political, and cultural lives.

      Debiutancka powieść Fielding, autorki megabestsellerów "Dziennik Bridget Jones" oraz "W pogoni za rozumem". Zmęczona blichtrem londyńskiej socjety i swoim chłopakiem pociągającym, acz okrutnym prezenterem telewizyjnym Rosie Richardson porzuca dotychczasowe życie i spędza cztery lata w Afryce, prowadząc obóz dla uchodźców. Kiedy sąsiedni region zostaje dotknięty klęską głodu, pojawia się poważna groźba, że do obozu zacznie napływać tłum głodujących, dla których nie wystarczy żywności. Agencje odpowiedzialne za udzielanie pomocy nie są przekonane, że niebezpieczeństwo jest realne. Sfrustrowana ich opieszałą reakcją Rosie, decyduje się na powrót do Londynu i ponowne nawiązanie kontaktów w kręgach znanych osobistości. Kilkoro jej dawnych, sławnych znajomych decyduje się na wyjazd do Afryki, skąd za pośrednictwem telewizji, wspólnie kierują dramatyczny apel do świata.Fielding pisze jak współczesny Głupiec z Króla Leara żartuje nieustannie, lecz odsłania nagą prawdę, a jej komedia obyczajowa rozgrywająca się w skażonym uwielbieniem dla mediów Londynie i głodującej Afryce przesiąknięta jest atmosferą, w której słodycz miesza się z goryczą.
