The contemporary challenge of postmodernity draws our attention to
the nature of reality and the ways in which experience is
constructed.
Sensuous Geographies explores our immediate sensuous experience of
the world. Touch, smell, hearing and sight - the four senses
chiefly relevant to geographical experience - both receive and
structure information. The process is mediated by historical,
cultural and technological factors.
Issues of definition are illustrated through a variety of sensuous
geographies. Focusing on postmodern concerns with representation,
the book brings insights from individual perceptions and cultural
observations to an analysis of the senses, challenging us to
reconsider the role of the sensuous as not merely the physical
basis of understanding but as an integral part of the cultural
definition of geographical knowledge.
