Summary
Zorica Tomić: Kiss
When was the last time you kissed?
What does a kiss mean to you?
What can replace it?
Starting from these three essential questions, Zorica Tomić analyzes the history, symbolism and importance of kissing in different types of social relationships and leads us to think deeply about the contemporary social climate. In the atmosphere of general distancing - physical and emotional - it seems that the kiss, as a paradigm of intimacy, has lost its basic meaning. Through a cross-section of social patterns and an analysis of the contemporary concept of identity, the author entertains the reader with interesting facts about kisses and kissing in general, which is why this extraordinary study flirts with the form of a manual on the subject of intimacy.
