Annotation:
	Introduces "touching at a distance" as means to theorize "a conceptual and political potential for touch that surmounts the neat distinction of the senses." Considers "non-palpable" touch and metatheatre in Hamlet and Tempest; "the problem of speaking and acting truthfully, the nature of social bonds, the rituals of touch," and surfaces in Richard III; linguistic temptation in Much Ado about Nothing; and social bonds in Troilus and Cressida.
