This book can be purchased by customers in the US or Canada from
the University of California Press.Sensory History introduces a
topic that is rapidly becoming of enormous interest to historians -
incorporating the senses into our understanding of the past.The
book defines "sensory history," stresses the importance of
historicizing the senses, and considers each sense chapter by
chapter. The author concludes by pondering future directions of the
field.Drawing on examples from across the globe throughout time,
Sensory History includes examinations of visual culture in
Victorian Britain and South America, of sound in nineteenth-century
Australia and France, and of gender politics and touch in Early
Modern Europe and among Native Americans. It also discusses "race"
and olfaction in the United States, scent in ancient Christianity,
and the role of taste in shaping national identity in modern China
and Early America. By attending carefully to the social history of
the senses, Sensory History also reconsiders the value of
paradigmatic explanatory models linking print, vision and
modernity, and evaluates their relevance to the study of sensory
history.Sensory History will be a key text for an emerging field.
