Words are everywhere. Ubiquitous, pervasive. Yet our relations with
words are narrowly defined. How does the sound, feel, touch, taste,
place, position, speed, and direction of words come to matter in
their uses? Word begins from the premise that, if we consider words
only in terms of language and as images, we overlook a range of
bodily, sensory, affective and non-conscious relations with words.
We overlook, too, their epistemological, methodological,
experiential and political implications. This book seeks to redress
this neglect by exploring words themselves in histories of language
and contemporary theory, in print and typography, and through a
series of empirical examples which include religion, embodiment,
photography and performance. Word is a reminder that words live
richly in the world. It is an invitation to recognise those
non-linguistic word-relations that are already existing, and to
bring new and generative encounters with words into being.
