Abstract

This chapter explores the transformations of the human experience of touch taking place in today’s societies, accelerated with the global lockdowns and quarantines of the COVID-19 pandemic although, as it is expected, still in process of development in the forthcoming decades. In the first part of the chapter it is analyzed how close contact human relations decrease, and which are the social and ethical consequences of this new normalized situation. In the second part it is explored how the ICTs make possible the emergence of new experiences of tactile awareness supported in ground-breaking sensory inputs and new technologies like artificial intelligence, touchscreen electronic devices, and social media. In the third part it is inquired how sexual habits and erotic experiences are changing in today’s cultures of interactivity and sensory immersion. Finally, from a philosophical perspective, a discussion is opened focused on the future of moral agencies and intersubjectivity in these forthcoming societies.
