Touching Space, Placing Touch (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Paterson, Mark; Dodge, Martin

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Providing a rich combination of theoretical resources, methodological approaches and empirical investigation, each of the chapters takes a distinct aspect of touch within a particular spatial context, exploring this through a mixture of sustained empirical work, critical theories of embodiment, philosophical and psychoanalytic approaches to gendered touch and touching, or the relationship between visual and non-visual culture, to articulate something of the variety and variability of touching experiences. The volume has a strong thematic identity and therefore represents the formative collection concerning the multiple senses of touch within social science scholarship at this time.
