In part 1, Howes demonstrates how sensory ethnography has yielded alternative insights into how the senses function and argues convincingly that each culture should be approached on its own sensory terms. Part 2 documents how the senses have been disciplined psychologically within the Western tradition, starting with Aristotle and moving through the rise of Lockean empiricism and cognitive neuroscience. Here, Howes presents an anthropologically informed critique of experimental and cognitive psychology, sensory science, and phenomenology. In part 3, he introduces the paradigm of the “historical anthropology of the senses and sensation” and applies it to the analysis of trade relations between Europe and China in the early modern period, to the treaty-making process in North America during the colonial period, and to all the unresolved disputes over land rights and Indigenous sovereignty that continue to this day, arguing that these differences are rooted in a cultural clash of sensoria.   Designed for the classroom, Sensorial Investigations displays an expansive critical engagement with generations of scholarship. It is essential reading for students and scholars of the history and anthropology of the senses, the psychology of sensation, and socio-legal studies.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56232642380149,"sku":"9780271095011","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780271095011_615f3a59-fb3d-4318-8dc5-47cd9addc064.jpg?v=1786012503"},{"product_id":"9781487528621","title":"The Sensory Studies Manifesto","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Sensory Studies Manifesto\u003c\/em\u003e explores the origin and development of the revolutionary new field of sensory studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56301594214773,"sku":"9781487528621","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781487528621_6ae7ac71-0fc1-45a0-8e82-81c011059d95.jpg?v=1786022037"},{"product_id":"sense-making","title":"Sense-Making","description":"In this highly innovative work, the senses are liberated from the confines of the present to serve as vehicles for accessing other historical periods and imagined futures. Sense-Making builds on the burgeoning field of sensory ethnography by introducing a pair of methodologies—sensory (re)construction and sensorial extrapolationCexpressly devised to facilitate time-travel.   The first part offers a survey and critique of extant work in sensory archeology and sensory futures. The second part presents a case study of sensory (re)construction in action, focusing on Thornbury Castle (1508—1521) in the UK. The third part probes the life of the senses on the \"final frontier\", the \"next habitat\" of humanity—namely, outer space. These sensory case studies are not purely architectural or purely futuristic. They are, at the same time, exercises in \"arts-based practice\" or \"research-creation,\" where the authors do not just carry out bibliographic research and write about pasts and futures, they make them.   Sense-Making is necessary reading for the international community of sensory studies scholars, as well as those with interests spanning material culture, museum and heritage studies, visual and auditory culture, experimental psychology, design and digital technology.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57680206856565,"sku":"9781032916873","price":47.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781032916873.jpg?v=1792423431"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-david-howes.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
