Mit Berührung als Phänomen der Grenze und Entgrenzung befasst sich Sandra Fluhrer, und zwar in Texten, die Erscheinungen der Pflanzenwelt in Verbindung mit dem taktilen Sinnesvermögen des Menschen bringen. Ihr Beitrag untersucht Berührung als "exzentrische Denkfigur" in Johann Wolfgang von Goethes Morphologie, Emanuele Coccias "Philosophie der Pflanzen" und in der politischen Anthropologie Helmuth Plessners. Der "Metaphysik der Mischung" in Coccias Pflanzenlehre, die Fluhrer als Aktualisierung der Goethe'schen Metamorphosen und als Gegenwehr zu einem aktuellen Identitäts- und Grenzdenken liest, stellt sie Plessners auch gesellschaftliches Interesse an einem "Berühren auf Distanz" und "exzentrischer Positionalität" zur Seite, das ebenso statische Identitätsvorstellung zurückweise.
Kagbeni and its irrigated oasis are surrounded by subdesert dwarf scrubland. In the present study, a list of 78 species of vascular plants is presented for Kagbeni and its immediate surroundings, supplemented with data on the distribution of the species within the entire Mustan District. The data are arrived from own investigations and the geobotanical literature. A phytogeographical analysis shows the prevalence of western over eastern elements. Species with a wide distribution in Eurasia, which constitute one third of the total flora of Kagbeni, are of great importance as weeds on arable fields and in ruderal places within the irrigated oasis. Their occurrence is closely related to human activity. Presumably, most of these weeds have reached the area under study in connection with agriculture a long time ago. Weeds from the New World, although recorded in other villages of Mustan District, have not been found in Kagbeni. The weed vegetation of Kagbeni is documented by nine vegetation releves, and is compared to releves from Jomsom and Mzrpha. A floristic gradient from south to north that has been detected by earlier investigations throughout the whole district can be reproduced at the local scale. With regard to the weed flora, the effects of different crops are minimal, compared to effects of altitude and other factors related to altitude.
