In Martin Jay’s seminal book, Downcast Eyes: The Denigration of Vision in Twentieth-Century French Thought (1993), the connection to Max Neuhaus is established through the theoretical critique of ocularcentrism—the cultural and philosophical bias that privileges sight over all other senses.
Thematic Intersection
The Critique of Vision: Martin Jay chronicles how 20th-century French intellectuals (such as Bergson, Bataille, and Foucault) challenged the "hegemony of vision" in Western culture.
Neuhaus as Counter-Aesthetic: Max Neuhaus's sound art is frequently cited by scholars—such as Heiner Goebbels and Christoph Cox—as a practical, artistic manifestation of Jay’s "downcast eyes". While Jay focuses on the rejection of the visual in theory, Neuhaus replaces it with the auditory.
