As always, Doug, thanks for your caring responses. Have you read Laura M. Marks, a Canadian scholar & new media arts review, who writes on haptics. Her recent book is called Touch. I like her smarts and prickliness and a kind of straight openess to everything that is not. Early in her career I suspect she was une enfant terrible, and probably a good, provocative pain in the ass for the old boys & women in the 'theory-gaze' worlds. She is particularly good on Japanese film from the early 60's, a period of which I mainly know the amazing photographers of the period ( Muryama, Fukase and Tomatsu) - all of them working with the post-War Japanese breakdown - including sexual issues of cast and power) It's great how Canada creates these whiz women - Rachel Zolf, Lisa Robertson, and Marks among them.

The haptics carry the emotions they seek; a lot of loss, not just personal, there, that you've responded to with your pen....
