Opposing the mentalist attitude toward the act of reading-viz. reading a text means that the mind captures or misses the meaning hidden in the text-this dissertation argues that reading takes place between two things taken for granted, that is, between the body as the localization of carnal and sensuous responses to what is read and the text as the material object whose form, structure, and layout condition the reader's moods, feelings, and attitudes. That is to say, the body that reads and the text that is read position together, and they compose a forum for meaning, where the reader is affected, touched by the text touching. The carnal hermeneutics of reading, after all, is still dedicated to the concern for what happens to the reader in the act of reading; however, it is determined to rectify the neglect of the body in philosophical hermeneutics. The reader's response to the text, in fact, is a bodily response: The text that makes sense to us is the text that affects us, giving us headaches, goosebumps, making us smile or serious, having us delighted to continue, thrilled, gloomy, depressed, melancholic, wondered, perplexed, displeased, even irritated, feared, or desperate to read more. From the fact that the act of reading is always and already mediated through the body, it follows, then, hermeneutics begins with the embodied reader interpreting itself, turning corporeality into living experience, listening to the bodily responses to the text. That means the perceiving body is to differentiate reading (touching) and the text as read (the touched) in their unity in the act of reading; for the body that touches (viz. reads), which is immediate and intimate to us, is also the same body that is touched, the same body that belongs to the world (viz. the text) touching us outwardly. The task of the carnal hermeneutics of reading, therefore, is to offer an interpretation of this enigma of the intertwining of touching the text and the touching text, reserving and reversing their difference in the same act of reading.
