Der Gedanke, den ich in meinem Vortrag entfalten moechte, ist der, dass
vom Koerper der Schein bleibt. Dieser Schein ist in der philosophischen
Tradition als der des Schoenen gedeutet worden, als Uebergang vom
Sinnlichen zum Geistigen oder als Schleier, der sich nicht lueften laesst. top

abstract Thomas Csordas:

This paper begins to trace a conceptual progression from interaction as
inherently meaningful to intersubjectivity, and from intersubjectivity
as the co-presence of alter egos to intercorporeality. It is an
exercise in cultural phenomenology insofar as ethnographic instances
provide the concrete data for phenomenological reflection. In examining
two instances in which the intercorporeal hinge between participants in
an interaction is in the hands, and two in which this hinge is in the
lips, I touch in varying degrees on elements of embodiment including
language, gesture, touch, etiquette, alterity, spontaneity, body image,
sonority, mimesis, and immediacy. The analysis supports the substantive
conclusion that intersubjectivity is a concrete rather than an abstract
relationship and that it is primary rather than a secondary achievement
of isolated egos, as well as the methodological conclusion that cultural
phenomenology is not bound by subjective idealism.
