This volume responds to calls in visual and material cultural
studies to move beyond the visual and to explore the multi-sensory
impact of the image, across a wide range of cultural and historical
contexts. What does it mean to practise art history after the
material and sensory turns? What is an image, if not a purely
visual phenomenon, and how does it prompt non-visual sensory
experiences? The multi-sensoriality of the image was a less
challenging concept before the ocularcentric modern age, and so
this volume brings together a global array of scholars from
multiple disciplines to ask these questions of imagery in premodern
or non-western contexts, ranging from Minoan palace frescoes, to
Roman statues, early church sermons, tombs of Byzantine saints,
museum displays of Islamic artefacts of scent, medieval depictions
of the voice, and Stuart court masques. Each chapter presents a
means of appreciating images beyond the visual, demonstrating the
new information and understanding that consequently can be gleaned
from their material. As a collection, these chapters offer the
student and scholar of art history and visual culture an array of
exciting new approaches that can be applied to appreciate the
multi-sensoriality of images in any context, as well as prompts for
reflection on future directions in the study of imagery. The
Multi-Sensory Image thus illustrates that it is not only possible
to explore the non-visual impact of images, but imperative.
