Interdisciplinary Insights for Digital Touch Communication

---

In this chapter, we make a case for the significance of touch for communication and suggest that developments in sensory digital technologies are bringing
touch to the fore in ways that move digital communication beyond ‘ways of seeing’
to include new ‘ways of feeling’. We argue that this shift requires us to take new
measure of digitally mediated touch, or ‘digital touch’, as a communicational
resource, what it is and can be, how it is designed and imagined, and its communicative potentials and limitations. We situate digital touch communication in relation to
a technological awakening to a broader social revaluing of people’s sensorial experience. We introduce and reflect on the socially orientated stance to digital touch we
take in this book, and the InTouch project more generally. The chapter provides an
overview of the book which also serves to introduce the key themes that it explores,
that is the research and technological terrain of digital touch, social norms of touch,
presence and connection, sociotechnical imaginaries of digital touch, and the ethics
of touch. Finally, we introduce six InTouch case studies which examine digital
touch across different contexts, perspectives and participants. We draw illustrative
examples from these (alongside extensive engagement with the research literature)
in order to enliven and consolidate the book’s exploration of the sociality of digital
touch communication across different contexts.
