Description
Gabriel Josipovici explores how we can feel at home in the world, given its independence from our wishes. He argues that valuing touch over sight is key to feeling comfortable in relationships and with others. Through various topics, including film, literature, culture and personal experience, Josipovici makes engaging commentary on connection and communication. By contrasting sight and touch, he shows how walking or feeling our way through distances can make things more than just images, and bring us into the world as participants rather than observers. This book offers a lucid and imaginative exploration of the importance of touch in our lives, one that will resonate with readers.
