The Senses in Self, Society, and Culture : A Sociology of the Senses Hardback
by Phillip (Royal Roads University, Canada) Vannini, Dennis Waskul, Simon Gottschalk
Part of the Sociology Re-Wired series
Hardback
Description
The Senses in Self, Society, and Culture is the definitive guide to the sociological and anthropological study of the senses.
Vannini, Waskul, and Gottschalk provide a comprehensive map of the social and cultural significance of the senses that is woven in a thorough analytical review of classical, recent, and emerging scholarship and grounded in original empirical data that deepens the review and analysis.
By bridging cultural/qualitative sociology and cultural/humanistic anthropology, The Senses in Self, Society, and Culture explicitly blurs boundaries that are particularly weak in this field due to the ethnographic scope of much research.
Serving both the sociological and anthropological constituencies at once means bridging ethnographic traditions, cultural foci, and socioecological approaches to embodiment and sensuousness.
The Senses in Self,Society, and Culture is intended to be a milestone in the social sciences’ somatic turn.
