Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, this volume explores representations of skin in literature, art, art history, visual media, and medicine and its history. The essays collected here probe the symbolic potential of skin as a shifting sign in various historical and cultural contexts, and also examine the material and organic properties of the body's largest organ. They deal with skin as a sensual organ, as an interface or contact zone, as the visual marker of identity, and as a lieu de memoire in different periods and media.

The intimate links between the page and the skin have been explored by writers for centuries. Yet despite the current interest in the surface of the body, the relationship between touching and writing remains neglected. Drawing on new debates in deconstruction and psychoanalysis, this book provides an original and timely intervention in the field. Exploring insights from Jacques Derrida and Hélèn Cixous, and through close readings of work by writers such as Anne Carson, Siri Hustvedt and Michael Ondaatje, Tactile Poetics investigates the law of tact that always interrupts contact, and examines the different ways that literary texts work to 'touch' their readers.

Dass die ›Glückseligkeit‹ des Menschen auf einem gelingenden Zusammenspiel von Körper und Geist beruht, ist eine der epochemachenden Erkenntnisse des 18. Jahrhunderts. Neben der Medizin und der Philosophie wird insbesondere der Literatur zugetraut, den ›ganzen Menschen‹ dar- und herzustellen - deshalb kommt dem Körper ab den 1720er Jahren eine historisch beispiellose Bedeutung in der Dichtungstheorie zu. Dieser poetologischen Karriere des Körpers im 18. Jahrhundert wird in der vorliegenden Studie erstmals umfassend nachgegangen. Sie widmet sich der Körperarbeit in vier Schritten: im Blick auf Körpermetaphern im zeitgenössischen Diskurs, auf Debatten über die Darstellbarkeit von schönen und nicht-schönen Körpern, auf die poetologische Bedeutung des Autor- und Leserkörpers sowie abschließend auf Friedrich Schillers hoch differenzierte körperbasierte Poetik.
