"Thus, as James Barry Jr. glosses it, 'flesh' names the existential manifold 'in which perception erupts from the originary and differentiating encroachment of body and world' in a being that is 'porous'—this because demarcation between the world’s 'inhabitants is always provisional, never quite finished and always open to new possibilities of encroachment.' These possible encroachments of body and world on each other are a function of their common existential matter, 'the primordial obscurity and openness of things-ofthe-world, movements which emigrate into other forms, thus giving rise to domains of things ... which no longer seem quite so ‘thingly.’' Significantly, when things no longer seem quite so 'thingly,' subjects no longer seem quite so 'subjectly,' so absolute and closed in their selfsameness, so other in their difference from the substance—or 'thingly-ness'—of things." :: Vivian Sobchack: Carnal Thoughts, p.293-294 :: monoskop.org/images/5/58/Sobchack_Vivian_Carol_Carnal_Thoughts_Embodiment_and_Moving_Image_Culture.pdf 🎧 youtube.com/watch?v=8F-Q9mgFZxs
