CONTAGIO E CONTATTO. UN’ESPERIENZA DELLA REVERSIBILITÀ

Abstract

In epidemic time, it is not uncommon for relationships with other people to become highly ambiguous. During the covid emergency people have experienced and suffered a triple ban: it was forbidden to touch others, to be touched by others, and to touch ourselves. People have experienced what phenomenologists call “the experience of reversibility”. Starting from the analysis of the bodily experience of reversibility, the papers argues about the implications of that phenomenon regarding both the sphere of individual behavior and of politics.
