Losing touch : essays
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- "Losing Touch: Essays" is a book about connection, disconnection, and what happens in between. "Losing Touch" makes reference to multiple kinds of contact and distance, from the embodied, literal experience of losing another's physical touch through separation or social distancing, to "losing one's touch" and being more prone to failure, to "losing touch with someone" across physical or virtual time and space, and even becoming "out of touch" with a cultural zeitgeist or "losing touch with reality." The chapters that follow are correspondingly organized into two distinct but related groups, "Missed Connections," centering on the desires wrought by and despite gender and sexuality in the years since the #MeToo movement, and "Connection Failed," devoted to virtual and digital intimacies in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
