Lingis has a related sense of fetishes as callings/extensions and not as merely narcissistic enhancement. <br />-dmfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21165575.post-1821402888779694772011-03-18T15:33:16.396-04:002011-03-18T15:33:16.396-04:00Karl: I am VERY enamored of your idea of a haptic ...Karl: I am VERY enamored of your idea of a haptic medieval studies, especially as you elaborate it here.
