“Haptic visuality” as a book category gathers works that explore the tactile dimension of seeing—the idea that the eye can “touch” images and surfaces—through theory, criticism, and practice. It includes scholarship in film, visual culture, and phenomenology that examines texture, grain, proximity, and embodied perception; art and photography books that foreground material surfaces and close-up, sensuous looking; and artists’ books or design-led volumes that invite literal touch through paper choice, embossing, cut-outs, and other material interventions. It can also encompass literary and creative nonfiction that conjure texture and bodily sensation in language. Across these forms, the category centers intimacy, memory, affect, and the materiality of media, appealing to readers interested in multisensory aesthetics and the interplay of touch and vision.
