Embodied Simulation and Touch: The Sense of Touch in Social Cognition2013 •
This paper explores the sense of touch in relation to social cognition offering a new take on multisensory integration in the brain, within the framework of embodied simulation (ES) theory. ES provides a new empirically based notion of intersubjectivity, viewed first and foremost as intercorporeality. in relation to touch, by means of eS we do not just “see” a sensation experienced by someone else and then understand it through an inference by analogy. By means of eS we can map others’ sensations by re-using our own motor, somatosensory and viscero-motor representations. eS provides an original and unitary account of basic aspects of intersubjectivity, demonstrating how deeply our making sense of others’ living and acting bodies is rooted in the power of re-using our own motor, somatosensory and viscero-motor resources.

The Phenomenon of Touch: a Trinitarian Reduction2019 •
In this chapter, I posit the erotic and the body in close relation to the universality of touch, in an attempt to show their proximity in formative experience. To do this, I work through an essay by Ignacio Martín-Baró called “La Psicología de la Caricia” [the psychology of a caress] (1970). As Martín-Baró compellingly shows, there is a subtle dialectic through which touch and the human being shape each other. In discussing the phenomenality of this dialectic in touch, I draw both from the phenomenological tradition represented in the lineage of Husserl, Heidegger, and Marion, as well as from psychoanalytic theory. Methodologically, the study is organized in three moments of phenomenological reductions, operationalizing a “trinitarian lens” (Rocha 2015). The chapter then offers a discussion on the Freudian perspective on the drives, as lending an understanding of the phenomenality of touch by positing Eros as “the ultimate cause of all activity,” particularly including educational activity.
Husserl’s account of intersubjective recognition in the Cartesian Meditations seems to suffer from an obvious difficulty. It is based on the appearing behavior of Others, which the recognizing subject compares with his own behavior. If they are harmonious, then the recognition is successful. As Husserl writes in this regard, “The experienced animate organism [Leib] of the Other continues to manifest itself as actually an animate organism solely through its continually harmonious behavior ... The organism is experienced as a pseudo-organism [Schein-Leib] precisely when it does not agree in its behavior.” “Harmonious” means harmonious with the observing subject’s behavior: I regard myself and my Other. To the point that the Other behaves as I would in a similar situation, I recognize him as a subject like myself. The basis for this recognition is the similarlity of our appearing bodies. Yet, as Lanei Rodemeyer has pointed out, “my experience of my own body is nothing like my experience of another person’s body.” Thus, the supposed “‘natural’ similarity between the two bodies would never be automatically given” as a basis for intersubjective recognition. How, then, do we resolve this difficulty? The solution, I argue, is to be found in Husserl’s account of how we constitute the sense we have of ourselves as embodied. In this account, touch will turn out to be foundational not just for our sense of embodiment but also for our recognition of others.
