Summary/Abstract: An aesthesic immersion in the sensible universe of Jean-Philippe Toussaint, this essay aims to analyse the senses as a weaving linking the humans’ flesh and the sensitive, touchable world. In the steps of Marie, since the sight, the hearing, the taste, the smell and the touch fuse and melt away the body into the elementary world’s paste, the author uncovers through the senses an ethereal alterity and the need to feel the other as well as the sensitive world.
