Abstract

The article deals with four forms of power grabs through the conceptual connection between touch and power, focusing on four structural breakthroughs that show the changing process that this relation underwent, from the secularisation of the sacral via profane materialism until contemporary vulgar-materialism: Christian Noli me tangere; monarchic King’s Evil; materialistic Warenfetischismus; and profane Grab-’em-by-the-pussy.
