Description
Touch by Andrea Pavoni, Danilo Mandic, Caterina Nirta and Andreas Philippopoulos-Mihalopoulos is a thought-provoking exploration of the complex relationships between touch, law, and human experience. Drawing on insights from art, literature, and social science, this volume examines how touch can both form and deform what it touches, challenging traditional notions of corporeal integrity and human being. Through a diverse range of contributions, including artist presentations, this book reveals the multifaceted nature of touch, its ability to traverse boundaries and entangle bodies and spaces. By considering the interplay between the physical and metaphysical aspects of touch, this collection sheds new light on the fundamental ontology of this essential sense. Touch offers a unique perspective on the intersections of law, art, and human experience, inviting readers to reconsider their understanding of the role of touch in shaping our world.
