{"product_id":"politics-of-touch-erin-manning-9780816648450","title":"Politics of Touch: Sense, Movement, Sovereignty","description":"Political philosophy has long been bound by traditional thinking about the body and the senses. Through an engagement with the state-centered vocabulary of this discipline, \u003ci\u003ePolitics of Touch\u003c\/i\u003e explores the ways in which sensing bodies continually run up against existing political structures. In this groundbreaking work, Erin Manning reconsiders how new politics can arise that challenge the national body politic. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003ePolitics of Touch, \u003c\/i\u003e Manning develops a new way to conceive the role of the senses, and of touch in particular. Exploring concepts of violence, gender, sexuality, security, democracy, and identity, she traces the ways in which touch informs and reforms the body. Specifically considering tango-a tactile, rhythmic, and improvisational dance- she foregrounds movement as the sensing body's intervention into the political. With a fresh vision and an original theoretical basis, Manning shows the ontogenetic potential of the body, and in doing so, redefines our understanding of the sense of touch in philosophical and political terms. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eErin Manning is assistant professor of fine arts at Concordia University and the author of Ephemeral Territories (Minnesota, 2003).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Erin Manning\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 081664845X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816648450\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 5.98w x 0.49d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2007 pg. 166","brand":"Erin Manning","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926485205247,"sku":"9780816648450","price":25.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_427d7477-29d8-4ecc-a98e-86f8e4aead4e.jpg?v=1681083333","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/politics-of-touch-erin-manning-9780816648450","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
