The Physical Practice of Reading

Copertina di Thomas Mc Laughlin: Reading and the Body (PDF)

Literary theory has been dominated by a mind/body dualism that often eschews the role of the body in reading. Focusing on reading as a physical practice, Mc Laughlin analyzes the role of the eyes, the hands, postures and gestures, bodily habits and other physical spaces, with discussions ranging from James Joyce to the digital future of reading.
