| Abstract | "Offering an in-depth analysis of the relationship between touch and language through the history of philosophy, this book revitalizes the field of haptic studies, which often fails to address the ontological nature of touch, providing new insights in the philosophy of language. This book draws together an international team of linguists, anthropologists and philosophers, many of whom are members of the 'second generation' of Ljubljana's School of Theoretical Psychoanalysis, to demonstrate from a variety of disciplinary perspectives that the experience of touch is inextricable from the structure of language. Examining the intersections between phenomenology, Marxism and poststructural linguistics, this work draws upon figures such as Nancy, Derrida and Lacan to question both how language structures touch and how touch structures language"-- Provided by publisher. |
