This path-breaking book examines our attitudes to the senses from
antiquity through to the present day. Robert Jutte explores a
wealth of different traditions, images, metaphors and ideas that
have survived through time and describes how sensual impressions
change the way in which we experience the world.
Throughout history, societies have been both intrigued or
unsettled by the five senses. The author looks at the way in which
the social world conditions our perception and traces the
'rediscovery' of sensual pleasure in the twentieth century, paying
attention to experiences as varied as fast food, deoderization, and
extra-sensory perception. He concludes by exploring technological
change and cyberspace, reflecting on how developments in these
fields will affect our relationship with the senses in the
future.
