Shaped by culture, gender and class, the senses mediate between mind and body, idea and object, self and environment. This journal provides a forum for the exploration of this area of inquiry. It brings together work in the social sciences and incorporates developments in art, design, and architecture.
A heightened interest in the role of the senses in society is sweeping the social sciences, supplanting older paradigms and challenging conventional theories of representation. Shaped by culture, gender and class, the senses mediate between mind and body, idea and object, self and environment. This pioneering journal provides a crucial forum for the exploration of this vital new area of inquiry. It brings together groundbreaking work in the social sciences and incorporates cutting-edge developments in art, design and architecture. Every volume contains something for and about each of the senses, both singly and in all sorts of novel configurations.
