书名：Haptic Modernism: Touch and the Tactile in Modernist Writing
作者：Abbie Garrington
简介：Haptic Modernism focuses on areas of sensory experience which were being re-conceptualised in response to technological and scientific innovations in the modernist touch, kinaesthesis, proprioception and the vestibular sense. The work of James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Rebecca West, Dorothy Richardson and D. H. Lawrence is considered in detail alongside non-canonical fictions and scientific, philosophical and journalistic accounts of bodily experiences in the realm of touch and the tactile.
In a series of extended readings of significant novels, the book weaves together studies of the X-ray, atomic structure, the cinema spectator experience, the look-which-touches of the sculpture viewer, the touch-which-looks of the blind, the process of manicure, literary treatments of the writing hand, muscular responses to motorcar travel and frightening tales of split skins, split selves and severed hands. Haptic Modernism asks why it is that modernist texts are taken with the haptic experiences of the human body. And it seeks to identify clusters of haptic happenings within modernist texts as a means of understanding the touch-transforming social and historical contexts out of which those writings emerge.
