Description

Explore the social life of touch in this academic study from Routledge. The Book of Touch examines our most vital yet elusive sense, looking at how tactile experiences shape human culture. This work moves from historical perspectives, such as the Inquisition, to the comforts of modern life. It also examines the role of touch in Asian medicine and the emerging world of virtual tactility in cyberspace. This book investigates how touch influences identity, including masculine and feminine roles. It provides a look into the specific tactile experiences of the blind and the autistic, while exploring how different cultures develop their sense of touch. For students and readers interested in anthropology and sociology, this text offers a deep look into a sensory territory that is both foreign and familiar.
