Although Derrida emphasizes touch in the thought of Nancy, he does not engage Nancy's thinking of touch regarding the plurality of the arts. By returning to Nancy's work on sensibility and materiality, touch and bodies, this article links Derrida's Le Toucher to the political and ethical challenges of Nancy's deconstructive project.
