- 요약This dissertation explores the representation of touch and tactile culture in modern Chinese literature, film, and visual culture. The project investigates the many powers invested in human hands through narrative, taking a particular interest in the discourses that contribute to the construction of "untouchable" people and groups at various historical junctures. I argue that hands and protocols of touch are situated at the crux of major ideological and political tensions from the early Republican era to the new millennium. By examining how contentions about labor, sexuality, modernity, and national survival are played out in discourses of hands, my analysis offers fresh readings of seminal cultural texts and interrogates existing assumptions about intimacy and alienation in the modern era. This project not only contributes to the China field's emerging interest in sensory experience-which has been mostly limited to discussions of visuality, sound, and taste-but also opens up a new vista for sustained future inquiry about how tactility interacts with sight, taste, scent, and sound in a comprehensive aesthetic discourse of the body.
