Ad from 1960s, my scan
some of my favorite film theory and film criticism approaches <3
life is just about art of people holding each other actually. that’s it.
Erich Auerbach / Salman Toor / Brideshead Revisited / Ed Van Der Elsken / Malcolm T. Liepke / Keanu and River by Bruce Weber
brian kershiznik / franz stuck / lane demoll / words of lane demoll in the description of their painting “circle dance (six witches)”
Cave Painting, Dance Scene
“The importance of touch is that it places you. It is the medium of the articulation of a relationship. Touch yields two different senses–that of connection and that of separateness. It makes for a sense of oneness … as well as for a sense of difference. One thing is sure: if we are not touched, we might begin to suspect that we are not here.”
Kathleen Woodword, Aging and its Discontents
“The longing to touch/be touched. I feel gratitude when I touch someone—as well as affection etc. The person has allowed me proof that I have a body—and that there are bodies in the world.”
Susan Sontag, Consciousness Is Harnessed To Flesh: Journals & Notebooks, 1964 - 1980
“Don’t we touch each other just to prove we are still here?”
Ocean Vuong, ‘On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous’
“While the skin appears to be the matter which separates the body, it rather allows us to think of how the materialisation of bodies involves, not containment, but an affective opening out of bodies to other bodies, in the sense that the skin registers how bodies are touched by others.”
Sara Ahmed, Strange Encounters
“There’s power in the touch of another person’s hand. We acknowledge it in little ways, all the time. There’s a reason human beings shake hands, hold hands, slap hands, bump hands. It comes from our very earliest memories, when we all come into the world blinded by light and color, deafened by riotous sound, flailing in a suddenly cavernous space without any way of orienting ourselves, shuddering with cold, emptied with hunger, and justifiably frightened and confused. And what changes that first horror, that original state of terror? The touch of another person’s hands. Hands that wrap us in warmth, that hold us close. Hands that guide us to shelter, to comfort, to food. Hands that hold and touch and reassure us…”
Jim Butcher, Skin Game
“Touch me, / remind me who I am.”
Stanley Kunitz, ‘Touch’
“Touch, as self-touching, is the being of every sense in general, the being-sense of sense, the condition of possibility of sensibility in general, the very form of space and time, and so forth.”
— Jacques Derrida, On Touching, Jean-Luc Nancy

public transport is like [play music too loud] [look out the window] [see your reflection in the glass] [think abt how you are perceived] [see a pretty girl] [lower volume of music to listen to others conversations] [smile and wave at a child] [try to sip tea without spilling] [look at graffiti] [speak with a kind elderly woman] [remember something embarrassing] [wonder if anyone can read your thoughts] [hope no one can read your thoughts] [remember how tired you are] [change music] etc
