Anthropologists of the senses have long argued that cultures differ
in their sensory registers. This groundbreaking volume applies this
idea to material culture and the social practices that endow
objects with meanings in both colonial and postcolonial
relationships. It challenges the privileged position of the sense
of vision in the analysis of material culture. Contributors argue
that vision can only be understood in relation to the other senses.
In this they present another challenge to the assumed western
five-sense model, and show how our understanding of material
culture in both historical and contemporary contexts might be
reconfigured if we consider the role of smell, taste, touch and
sound, as well as sight, in making meanings about objects.
