Ocularcentrism is the privileging of vision over the other senses. The term was first attested in 1986[1].

It can be seen in much 20th-century art. As Martin Jay notes in "The Disenchantment of the Eye: Surrealism and the Crisis of Ocularcentrism":

"The eye was, in fact, a central Surrealist image, and indeed can be discerned in much 20th-century visual art. Anticipated by Odilon Redon's haunting images of single eyes as balloons, flowers or Cyclops staring towards heaven, artists like de Chirico, Ernst, Dali, Man Ray and Magritte developed a rich ocular iconography."

Somewhere this preponderance developed into anti-ocularism. Narratives such as Story of the Eye by Georges Bataille and Un Chien Andalou profess anti-ocularism.
