Sarah Jackson is Associate Professor in Arts and Environment and Vice Chancellor’s Fellow at Northumbria University. Working at the intersections of literature, art and technology in order to address questions of social and environmental justice, her books include Pelt (2012; awarded the Seamus Heaney Prize for Poetry 2013); Tactile Poetics: Touch and Contemporary Writing (2015); and Literature and the Telephone: Conversations on Poetics, Politics and Place (2023). Bringing together creative and critical practice, her current work focuses on geopoetics, displacement and sound.
‘Tactile Poetics takes excellent care of the intellectual and imaginative possibilities of its subject. Jackson's lucid, subtle engagement with touch and associated topics (skin, embodiment, affect, address, reading, relationships in general, and more) combines a poet's sensitivity, scholar's rigour and thinker's curiosity. Her book belongs alongside classic studies by Anzieu, Connor and Nancy.’Sarah Wood, University of Kent and Guild of Psychotherapists‘An original and compelling study. It is also, in its singularly gentle manner, a work of pressing importance. Interweaving lucid and thought-provoking expositions of Anzieu, Merleau-Ponty, Derrida, Nancy and others, with deft and inventive readings of a range of recent fictional and poetic writing, Jackson’s book shows how the subject of touch is at the heart of contemporary writing and theory.’Nicholas Royle, University of Sussex‘Tactile Poetics: Touch and Contemporary Writing is an original and compelling study. It is also, in its singularly gentle manner, a work of pressing importance. Interweaving lucid and thought-provoking expositions of Anzieu, Merleau-Ponty, Derrida, Nancy and others, with deft and inventive readings of a range of recent fictional and poetic writing (Siri Hustvedt, Michael Ondaatje, Hélène Cixous, Anne Carson and John Berger), Jackson’s book shows how the subject of touch is at the heart of contemporary writing and theory.’Nicholas Royle, University of SussexA new critical perspective on the relationship between text and tact in twentieth- and twenty-first-century literature and theoryThe intimate links between the page and the skin have been explored by writers for centuries. Yet despite the current interest in the surface of the body, the relationship between touching and writing remains neglected. Drawing on new debates in deconstruction and psychoanalysis, this book provides an original and timely intervention in the field. Exploring insights from Jacques Derrida and Hélène Cixous, and through close readings of work by writers such as Anne Carson, Siri Hustvedt and Michael Ondaatje, Tactile Poetics investigates the law of tact that always interrupts contact, and examines the different ways that literary texts work to 'touch' their readers.Key Features•Conceptualises the relationship between touching and writing through a theory of 'tactile poetics'•Offers in-depth analysis of a range of literary genres including short fiction, poetry, autobiography, correspondence and the novel•Examines writings on touch by Anzieu, Cixous, Derrida, Freud and Nancy•Explores the intersections between creative and critical thinking and writingSarah Jackson is Senior Lecturer in English and Programme Leader MA in Creative Writing at Nottingham Trent University.Cover image: If walls could talk…, found wallpaper in empty flat Liverpool, 2002, by Catherine Bertola.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - While the field of haptic aesthetics has received significant critical interest in recent years, the intimate connection between touching and writing remains neglected. Contributing to current debates in deconstruction and psychoanalysis, Tactile Poetics: Touch and Contemporary Writing offers a new critical perspective on the relationship between text and tact. Through close readings of authors such as John Berger, Elizabeth Bowen, Anne Carson, Siri Hustvedt, and Michael Ondaatje, the volume proposes a theory of 'tactile poetics' in order to examine the co-implication of touch and writing in a range of genres including the novel, poetry, short fiction, autobiography and film. Drawing on insights from Didier Anzieu, Hélène Cixous, Jacques Derrida, Sigmund Freud and Jean-Luc Nancy, Tactile Poetics examines the 'skin-effects' of language and the 'law of tact' that always interrupts contact. Celebrating the intersections between creative and critical writing and exploring diverse literary textures, this book deviates from grasping and licking to false hands and phantom limbs, considering the effects of spectral contact on how we 'hand on' ways of thinking about reading and writing.
