Touch is the first sense to develop in the womb, yet often it is overlooked. The Senses of Touch examines the role of touching and feeling as part of the fabric of everyday, embodied experience.
How can we think about touch? Problems of touch and tactility run as a continuous thread in philosophy, psychology, medical writing and representations in art, from Ancient Greece to the present day. Picking through some of these threads, the book 'feels' its way towards writing and thinking about touch as both sensory and affective experience.
Taking a broadly phenomenological framework that traces tactility from Aristotle through the Enlightenment to the present day, the book examines the role of touch across a range of experiences including aesthetics, digital design, visual impairment and touch therapies. The Senses of Touch thereby demonstrates the varieties of sensory experience, and explores the diverse range of our 'senses' of touch.

About the book >.>.> While we might agree with the sentiments of Diderot, we usually think of touch in more prosaic terms. A hand brushing or stroking a piece of exposed skin, perhaps. The immediacy of cutaneous contact with the skin surface. But if we scratch that surface, if we dig deeper into the physiology, psychology and the fleshy philosophy of the body, the manifold meanings of touch start to reveal themselves. Sight, sound and the body in general have been studied extensively in the humanities, the social sciences and the natural sciences. But within an academic climate that celebrates visual cultures, and the popular media's infatuation with visuality, touch remains largely neglected, forgotten. Looking at the cultural, historical and philosophical treatment of touch, we can see why. We have an enduring cultural assumption, present in Plato and compounded in the Enlightenment, of the primacy of vision. (LL). N° de réf. du vendeur Batch-FM355-VG-8546
