• Creator:

• Description:
  We have got used to associating collecting in the first place with the sense of sight, andonly then with touch, hearing, taste or smell. Yet, it needs the employment of all kindsof senses, the sight not always being the most important. Walter Benjamim in his reflections on collecting emphasizes the role of touch in collectors’ practices, he calls the collector”a toucher”. The sense of touch in the western culture is the most forgotten and marginalizedof all senses. This paper attempts at making theoretical reflections on the specificity of thecollector’s haptic experience and the role of touch in collecting. It presents the epistemological dimension of touching and the connection of touch with the mētis type of knowledge, theaesthetic experience and the ways the collector experiences the past and creates intimaterelations with objects.;
