Abstract

Die aktuelle sozialwissenschaftliche Diskussion zum Thema >>Körper<< beschränkt sich häufig auf individuelle Ausdrucksformen und Befindlichkeiten - Berührungen zwischen den Körpern hingegen sind weder empirisch noch theoretisch von Interesse. Doch ohne die Berücksichtigung dieser grundlegenden Beziehungsform kann die soziale Entwicklung des Menschen nicht hinreichend verstanden werden. Daher ist eine Neuorientierung erforderlich, die Einsichten in geteilte Körperwirklichkeiten im interdisziplinären Diskurs verankert. Der vorliegende Band schlie�t eine Forschungslücke, indem er einen breiten, interdisziplinären Überblick zu einem bisher vernachlässigten Thema bietet. Dabei schlie�t er an Alltagssituationen an und zeigt verschiedenste, teilweise tabuisierte ethische Problemlagen bei Körperkontakten auf - etwa in pädagogischen oder medizinischen Situationen.

Abstract

"Drawing on the work of contemporary French philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy, Cinema and Contact investigates the aesthetics and politics of touch in the cinema of three of the most prominent and distinctive filmmakers to have emerged in France during the last fifty years: Robert Bresson, Marguerite Duras and Claire Denis. Countering the dominant critical account of touch elaborated by recent models of embodied spectatorship, this book argues that cinema offers a privileged space for understanding touch in terms of spacing and withdrawal rather than immediacy and continuity."--Publisher.

Abstract

Die Studie beschreibt das begriffliche und metaphorische Feld dessen, was in der Aufklärung als Tastsinn/Gefühl figuriert. Dabei bezieht sie sich auf ein Phänomen, dessen operative und physiologische Bestimmung in Frage steht. Denn wo dieser Sinn anatomisch zu verorten und wie seine Funktion zu spezifizieren sei, stellt sich in Anbetracht der diskutierten Ansätze vor allem als ein Problem dar. Das zugrundegelegte Korpus umfasst literarische, philosophische und naturkundliche Texte. Diese werden einer Lektüre unterzogen, die unter Rekurs auf systematische Begriffe die Vielschichtigkeit des Gegenstandes auszuloten ermöglicht. Den Ausgangspunkt bildet Descartes' Erklärung des neuzeitlichen Sehverständnisses unter Einbeziehung des Tastvergleichs, den Abschluss Herders ästhetisches Konzept. Der zwischen diesen beiden Kapiteln gespannte historische Bogen umgreift über hundert Jahre, in deren Verlauf sich die Differenz von Sehen und Tasten als diskursiver Bezugspunkt sowohl verfestigt als auch auflöst. Anhand ausgewählter Texte von u.a. Berkeley, Wolff, Brockes, Bodmer, Breitinger, Diderot oder Lessing zeichnet die Studie die wechselnden Konstellationen sowie Medien des Tastsinns nach und zeigt auf, dass dieser bereits seit dem 17. Jahrhundert nicht mehr als Kategorie der leiblichen Präsenz gedacht wird, die es gegenüber dem Sehsinn zu rehabilitieren gelte, sondern in ein komplexeres Reflexionsgefüge eingebunden ist.

Abstract

From the softest caress to the harshest blow, touch lies at the heart of our experience of the world. Now, for the first time, this deepest of senses is the subject of an extensive historical exploration. The Deepest Sense: A Cultural History of Touch fleshes out our understanding of the past with explorations of lived experiences of embodiment from the Middle Ages to modernity. This intimate and sensuous approach to history makes it possible to foreground the tactile foundations of Western culture--the ways in which feelings shaped society.Constance Classen explores a variety of tactile realms including the feel of the medieval city; the tactile appeal of relics; the social histories of pain, pleasure, and affection; the bonds of touch between humans and animals; the strenuous excitement of sports such as wrestling and jousting; and the sensuous attractions of consumer culture. She delves into a range of vital issues, from the uses--and prohibitions--of touch in social interaction to the disciplining of the body by the modern state, from the changing feel of the urban landscape to the technologization of touch in modernity.Through poignant descriptions of the healing power of a medieval king's hand or the grueling conditions of a nineteenth-century prison, we find that history, far from being a dry and lifeless subject, touches us to the quick.

Abstract

Il suffit d'associer les mots " toucher " et " sexualité " dans le cadre des professions de soignants pour que surgissent quantité d'exemples de fautes professionnelles et d'abus. Les règles d'éthique et les codes de déontologie tracent bien la ligne de l'inacceptable, voire de l'interdit, quand il s'agit de l'expression de la sexualité dans un cadre professionnel, mais cela suffit-il ? La sexualité est une force de vie qui engendre des émotions et des sentiments complexes. Selon la profession à laquelle ils aspirent, les étudiants apprennent dans le détail le fonctionnement de telle ou telle partie du corps, mais en ce qui a trait à la sexualité et aux conditions propices aux transgressions, c'est presque le vide complet. Leur formation en éthique se fait plutôt silencieuse à propos du désir sexuel et de ce qui peut le déclencher, le nourrir, le maintenir. Tous spécialistes qu'ils soient, la plupart des professionnels du toucher ne savent que faire devant l'expression inattendue de la sexualité.

Abstract

Today's visual culture is shaped by a vast wealth of influences from diverse styles, cultures, and eras. Handcrafts including crochet, papercraft, and the design of costumes and masks are being melded with the techniques of more traditional art forms such as installation, sculpture, collage, photography, and illustration. A new visual language is currently being formed out of the skillful and unusual combination of creative styles, as well as the use of an expanded range of materials and techniques. One of the most striking aspects of today's visual culture is its handcrafted quality. The recent work of many creatives is characterized by craftsmanship and an intensive, even laborious exploration of the featured techniques, materials, or styles. High touch is a term used in design theory to describe an accessible, human visuality. The book High Touch is a compilation of current work that is broadening and enriching this definition in a contemporary way. It presents a rich selection of innovative, often handmade design created with the full spectrum of materials and stylistic devices in existence today--all of which also strive to expand this palette of visual possibilities in a meaningful way.
