Description

A myriad of sensations inform and direct us when we engage with the environment.

To understand their influence on the development of our habitus it is important to focus on unifying processes in sensing.

This approach allows us to include phenomena that elude a rather narrow view that focuses on each of the five discrete senses in isolation.

One of the central questions addressed in this volume is whether there is something like a sensual habitus, and if there is, how it can be defined.

This is especially done by exploring the formation and habituation of the senses in and by a culturally shaped habitat.

Two key concepts, Synaesthesia and Kinaesthetics, are addressed as essential components for an understanding of the interface of habitat and the rich and multisensory experience of a perceiving subject. At a Berlin-based conference Synaesthesia and Kinaesthetics, scholars from various disciplines gathered to discuss these issues.

In bringing together the outcome of these discussions, this book gives new insights into the key phenomena of sensory integration and synaesthetic experiences, it enriches the perspectives on sensually embedded interaction and its habituation, and it expands this interdisciplinary inquiry to questions about the cultures of sensory habitus.
