Times of crisis expose how we experience social, physical, and
emotional forms of distance. Alone with Others explores how these
experiences overlap, shaping our coexistence. Departing from
conventional debates that associate intimacy with affection and
distance with alienation, Haustein introduces tact as a particular
mode of feeling one's way and making space in the sphere of human
interaction. Reconstructing tact's conceptual history from the late
eighteenth century to the present, she then focuses on three
specific periods of socio-political upheaval: the two World Wars,
and 1968. In five reading encounters with Marcel Proust, Helmuth
Plessner, Theodor Adorno, François Truffaut, and Roland Barthes,
Haustein invites us to reconsider our own ways of engaging with
other people, images, and texts, and to gauge the significance of
tact today. This title is part of the Flip it Open Programme and
may also be available Open Access. Check our website Cambridge Core
