The Expanding Field of Sensory Studies (V.1.0) July 2013
The Expanding Field of Sensory Studies (version 1.0 – July 2013) David Howes, Centre for Sensory Studies, Concordia University, Montreal The sensorium is a fascinating focus for cultural studies Walter J. Ong, “The Shifting Sensorium” (1991) In sensory studies, the senses are treated as both object of study and means of inquiry. Sensory studies stands for a cultural approach to the study of the senses and a sensory approach to the study of culture. It challenges the monopoly that the discipline of psychology has long exercised over the study of the senses and sense perception by highlighting the sociality of sensation. History and anthropology are the foundational disciplines of this field. Sensory studies encompasses many other disciplines besides these two, however, as scholars from across the humanities and social sciences have, over the past few decades, successively “come to their senses” and turned their attention on the sensorium. The Senses and Society journal, which launched in 2006, is one manifestation of this convergence. The Sensory Studies website, which went live in 2010, is another (see www.sensorystudies.org), This essay is dedicated to tracing the history of the sensory turn in contemporary scholarship, and pointing to some directions for future research. It starts with an overview of the emergence and development of the history and anthropology of the senses. It goes on (in Part II) to examine how the senses have come to figure as a subject of study and means of inquiry in a range of other disciplines, including, for example, geography, sociology, linguistics, aesthetics and communication studies. In Part III, the focus shifts to how the field of sensory studies can otherwise be conceptualized as made up of visual culture, auditory culture (or sound studies), smell culture, taste culture and the culture of touch. -
The Social Construction of the Soundscape of the Castilian Cities (15Th and 16Th Centuries)
acoustics Article The Social Construction of the Soundscape of the Castilian Cities (15th and 16th Centuries) Gisela Coronado Schwindt Departamento de Historia, Facultad de Humanidades, Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata, Mar del Plata 7600, Argentina; [email protected] Abstract: This paper seeks to develop some conceptual elements that articulated the social construc- tion of the soundscape of the urban spaces of the kingdom of Castile (15th–16th centuries). We focus our attention on the revision of the normative spheres that structured the subjective universe of the Castilian inhabitants, in order to notice and spot the different sound representations that intervened in the spatial and social configuration of the cities, their possible conflicts, and levels of acoustic tolerance. This proposal is part of the so-called “sensorial turn” in the Social Sciences, defined by David Howes as a cultural approach to the study of the senses as well as a sensorial approach to the study of culture. The research is carried out through the analysis of the sensory marks present in a documentary corpus made up of normative documents (municipal ordinances, books of agreement, chapter acts, diocesan synods, and royal dispositions) and judicial documents (General Archive of Simancas) combining methods of discourse analysis and the history of the senses. In the article, we argue and remark that the sound dimension operated as a device that acted in the shaping of the identity of places, since it contributed to define and delimit their use. This was reflected in the importance given by the authorities to the normative regulation of the community, which included a textual dimension in which the historical soundscape was imprinted, revealing the multiple social interactions that integrated it. -
Review of 'Sensing the Past: Seeing, Hearing, Smelling, Tasting and Touching in History'
Jones-Katz, G. [2011]. Review of ‘Sensing the Past: Seeing, Hearing, Smelling, Tasting and Touching in History.’ by Mark M. Smith. The Social Epistemology Review and Reply Collective. Online. Available. http://social- epistemology.com/ Smith, Mark M. Sensing the Past: Seeing, Hearing, Smelling, Tasting, and Touching in History. Berkeley: University of California Press, 2007. 123 pp. On How (Not) to Turn the Senses into Food for Thought; or, When Context is King Gregory Jones-Katz There is yet another ‘turn’ in US History departments: sensory history. Touted by historians in The American Historical Review, with prospective scholarship to ‘examine hitherto ignored phenomena,’ thereby ‘opening unexplored territories of the past,’ the history of the senses has a promising future.1 Mark Smith, Professor of History at the University of South Carolina and president of The Historical Society, has been a prominent contributor to the field for almost a decade. Smith makes his case for sensory history in Sensing the Past: Seeing, Hearing, Smelling, Tasting, and Touching in History, published a few years before the current interest. In Sensing, Smith traces the importance of the senses for chief cultural developments from antiquity to the pre-Enlightenment era, focusing on how the senses informed the modern emergence of ‘social classes, race and gender conventions, industrialization, urbanization, colonialism, imperialism, nationalism, [and] ideas concerning selfhood and the “other”’ (1). This review essay concentrates on and challenges Smith’s views of how the historian should produce, assess, and validate histories of the senses. Rather than offer a new understanding of how to write sensory history, Smith’s approach is disappointedly status quo. -
Tactile Contexts: Toward a Feeling Musicology
Tactile Contexts: Towards Reconstructing a Feeling Musicology Danika Paskvan The Juilliard School March 2016; revised May 2016 … we may encounter a past horizon in one of three ways: 1. Read or see an original work and realize that it was written from a different outlook than ours. 2. Read a critical reconstruction by a predecessor. 3. Start to reconstruct one’s own version of past context. -Reconstructing Contexts, Robert D. Hume, 72 This paper is an archae-historical exploration of music, affect, and the sensing body. It addresses what I see to be a critical lack in both historical musicology and historical performance-practice oriented scholarship: a contextual reconstruction of 17th-century Western European understand- ings of touch and tactility—specifically through musical touch between musicians and their in- struments, through the prevalence of the metaphorical use of “touch words” in 17th-century mu- sic theory, and through the tactility of affect, the critical moment of embodied impact between music and the passions. Thus, with this project, I am building my understanding of the sense of tactility in early modern era as it pertained to music-making, music-teaching, and music-experi- encing, with the ultimate goal of creating a detailed, deeply empathetic, and accurate reconstruc- tion of the experiencing body of the 17th-century musician. My text will resonate with quota- tions from Robert D. Hume’s incredibly enlightening Reconstructing Contexts, a text whose aca- demic programme has become a rallying cry for me and which greatly -
A Sensory Education
A Sensory Education A Sensory Education takes a close look at how sensory awareness is learned and taught in expert and everyday settings around the world. Anna Harris shows that our sensing is not innate or acquired, but in fact evolves through learning that is shaped by social and material relations. The chapters fea- ture diverse sources of sensory education, including field manuals, man- nequins, cookbooks and flavour charts. The examples range from medical training and forest bathing to culinary and perfumery classes. Offering a valuable guide to the uncanny and taken-for-granted ways in which adults are trained to improve their senses, this book will be of interest to disci- plines including anthropology and sociology as well as food studies and sensory studies. Anna Harris is an Associate Professor in the Department of Society Studies at Maastricht University, the Netherlands. Sensory Studies Series editor: David Howes This series comprises cutting-edge case studies and syntheses in the emer- gent field of sensory studies. It provides an invaluable resource for those in- volved in research or teaching on the senses as object of study and/or means of inquiry. Embracing the insights of a wide array of humanities and social science disciplines, the field of sensory studies has emerged as the most com- prehensive and dynamic framework yet for making sense of human experi- ence. This series offers something for every disciplinary taste and sensory inclination.

Smith University of South Carolina [M]an is affirmed in the objective world not only in the act of thinking, but with all his senses_The forming of the five senses is a labor of the entire history of the world down to the present. Karl Marx1 I Eric Hobsbawm was in ebullient mood in 1970. "It is a good moment to be a social historian," he concluded his influential essay, "From Social History to the History of Society." For reasons he'd understand but because of developments in the writing of the history of the senses that he probably didn't anticipate, Hobsbawm might well sound a similar note of optimism were he to write the essay today.2 I'd like to suggest why Hobsbawm's understanding of social history seems to have been important to relatively recent work on the history of the senses? most of which is on the history of aurality?even if that influence is not always acknowledged explicitly by some ofthe authors concerned. -
