Summary/Abstract: A proposal for a new conceptualisation of sensual experience, with the author suggesting the term: “interception” as part of a critique of “perception” dominated by dichotomies and assuming an absorption model of experience. Next, he describes the instrumental approach to senses existing in the humanities and enrooted in reflections favouring a production of the repeatable and constant experience that constitutes the foundation of knowledge. Within a departure from this conception Topolski resorts to the concept of the “medium” conceived not as something that mediates between the world and the sensual body, but as something that defines the location of the subject, placing it between the senses and subjects (human and non-human) and referring to its mobility and interactiveness.
