Word Made Skin: Figuring Language at the Surface of Flesh
Karmen MacKendrick
Today, body and language are prominent themes throughout philosophy. Each is strange enough on its own; this book asks what sense we might make of them together. Words reach out. Hands pick up books; eyes or fingertips scan text. This title examines three somatic figures of speech: the touch, the fold, and the cut.
