Sensory studies arises at the conjuncture (and within) the fields of anthropology • sociology • history • archeology • geography • communications • religion • philosophy • literature • art history • museology • film • mixed media • performance • phenomenology • disability • aesthetics • architecture • urbanism • design

Sensory Studies can also be divided along sensory lines into, for example, visual culture, auditory culture (or sound studies), smell culture, taste culture and the culture of touch, not to mention the sixth sense (however it might be defined)

Uncommon Senses IV Virtual Book Exhibition

 

This exhibition consists of three sections.

The first presents a list of book titles sorted alphabetically by last name culled from the bios that the registered participants in the Uncommon Senses IV conference (3-6 May 2023) sent us together with their recent publication submissions. In many cases, the publishers generously agreed to offer discounts for use by conference participants. You can find these discount codes attached to their associated listings.

The second section consists of Open Access publications by conference presenters.

Last comes a list of titles in the Sensory Studies and Sensory Formations series from Routledge. There are discount codes for some of these books, too.

We also have included a children’s book based on a 2016 Canadian research study into mother’s journeys in the child welfare system.

Many of these listings can also be found in the Books of Note page of the Sensory Studies website. The Books of Note page is regularly updated with news of the latest publications in the ever expanding field of sensory studies.

Cambridge Elements Series

Histories of Emotions and the Senses

Born of the emotional and sensory ‘turns’, Elements on Histories of Emotions and the Senses move one of the fastest-growing interdisciplinary fields forward. They probe happiness and fear, smell and sound—and they ask if these can be neatly separated by discrete words, or if they are cross-cultural. They concern and problematize such topics as affect theory, the dichotomy of discourse vs. experience, intersensoriality, multisensory processing, embodiment, distributed cognition, epigenetics, human-animal relations and affective neuroscience. They touch on issues of pressing socio-political and sociomedical relevance, such as ‘felt facts’, racism and hate speech, mental health, emotional labour and artificial intelligence.
