Abstract

Joël Clerget témoigne de son expérience de la psychanalyste et de l'haptonomie postnatale. Cet ouvrage situe le contact et la sensorialité dans la dimension de l'esthétique (beauté du geste, sensation) et de l'existence. Il articule une réflexion sur les rapports de ces deux pratiques au plan de la clinique quotidienne comme à celui de leur élaboration conceptuelle. Leurs correspondances et leurs discordances sont envisagées dans leur contribution respective à la vie des êtres humains que nous sommes dans la relation de soi à soi, aux autres et au monde. Cet essai inscrit l'inconscient dans le contact, le tact faisant partie intégrante de ces pratiques. Le corps, l'image et le contact viennent ici rencontrer notre intimité. Cette approche phénoménologique par les sens et leur entrecroisement dit combien il s'agit de sentir et de se mouvoir. La qualité du ressenti et la dynamique du mouvement trouvent une alliance dans des relations réunissant le souffle, le mouvement et la voix, le contact et la main, la vie elle-même.

Abstract

Since the Renaissance, at least, the medium of sculpture has been associated explicitly with the sense of touch. Sculptors, philosophers and art historians have all linked the two, often in strikingly different ways. In spite of this long running interest in touch and tactility, it is vision and visuality which have tended to dominate art historical research in recent decades. This book introduces a new impetus to the discussion of the relationship between touch and sculpture by setting up a dialogue between art historians and individuals with fresh insights who are working in disciplines beyond art history. The collection brings together a rich and diverse set of approaches, with essays tackling subjects from prehistoric figurines to the work of contemporary artists, from pre-modern ideas about the physiology of touch to tactile interaction in the museum environment, and from the phenomenology of touch in recent philosophy to the experimental findings of scientific study. It is the first volume on this subject to take such a broad approach and, as such, seeks to set the agenda for future research and collaboration in this area.

Abstract

Although the therapeutic benefits of touch have become increasingly clear, American society, claims Tiffany Field, is dangerously touch-deprived. Many schools have "no touch" policies; the isolating effects of Internet-driven work and life can leave us hungry for tactile experience. In this book Field explains why we may need a daily dose of touch. The first sensory input in life comes from the sense of touch while a baby is still in the womb, and touch continues to be the primary means of learning about the world throughout infancy and well into childhood. Touch is critical, too, for adults' physical and mental health. Field describes studies showing that touch therapy can benefit everyone, from premature infants to children with asthma to patients with conditions that range from cancer to eating disorders. This second edition of Touch, revised and updated with the latest research, reports on new studies that show the role of touch in early development, in communication (including the reading of others' emotions), in personal relationships and even in sports. It describes the physiological and biological effects of touch, including areas of the brain affected by touch and the effects of massage therapy on prematurity, attentiveness, depression, pain and immune functions. Touch has been shown to have positive effects on growth, brain waves, breathing and heart rate, and to decrease stress and anxiety. As Field makes clear, we enforce our society's touch taboo at our peril.
