Abstract

We speak of visceral experience but what do we know of viscera? Who among us has plunged their hands deep into the bowl of an abdomen and lifted out handfuls of bowel, feeling the slippery coils slide across their fingers? Who knows the gut feeling of feeling gut? The touch, the texture, the weight, the smell.
