Abstract
Skin, the external boundary of the human body, has been up to now
an undiscovered field in postuhman studies. Even though the brilliant work of Frantz
Fanon, Black Skin, White Masks, redefined the meaning of skin in the context of race,
never has anybody truly used the potential of metaphors connected to skin. Sara
Ahmed and Jackie Stacey demonstrate that skin-tight politics (which is focused on
setting the boundaries of body and gender) leads to a denial of the relationship with
otherness and upholds binary traditions. By creating the conception of ‘Thinking
through skin’, the researchers call for a shift in the perception of normative visions of corporality. Based on that idea, I treat skin as a metaphor of the changes within philosophical thought which caused the materiality to cease to be from its own area. Demographies will therefore be an intersectional project which combines feminist materialism with Joanna Mueller’s neolinguistic poetry which aspires to create a new philosophy, understood by Lucie Irigaray as the discourse of touching love.
