"Original Italian edition: Quasi-cose. La realta dei sentimenti (Bruno Mondadori, 2013)" -- Title page verso. Translated from the Italian. Includes bibliographical references and index.
Contents:
Quasi things come and go and we cannot wonder where they've been (starting from the wind) -- Quasi-things assault and resist us: feelings as atmospheres -- Quasi things are felt (though not localized): the isles of the felt-body -- Quasi-things are proofs of existence: pain as the genesis of the subject -- Quasi-things affect us (also indirectly): vicarious shame -- Quasi-things communicate with us: from the gaze to the portrait (and back) -- Quasi-things are the more effective the vaguer they are: twilightness.
