Look, Don't Touch

The next instalment of the acclaimed Inklings series

What does the command “look, don’t touch” suggest about the (lack of) freedom to feel in society? hill and Sobande reflect on society’s nurturing and obstructing of emotional expression, physical touch, and connectedness between different species and spaces as Look, Don’t Touch journeys through the music of feeling, “self-help” social media, the power of public signage, and more to call for a move away from the language of “okayness”, and a move towards collectively uplifting forms of anger, agitation, love, solidarity, release, and ultimately, feeling.
