The Senses and Society

期刊简介：A heightened interest in the role of the senses in culture and society is sweeping the human sciences, supplanting older paradigms and challenging conventional theories of representation. This pioneering journal provides a crucial forum for the exploration of this vital new area of inquiry. It brings together groundbreaking work in the humanities and social sciences and incorporates cutting-edge developments in art, design and architecture. Every volume contains something for and about each of the senses, both singly and in all sorts of novel configurations. Sensation is fundamental to our experience of the world. Shaped by culture, gender and class, the senses mediate between mind and body, idea and object, self and environment. The senses are increasingly extended beyond the body through technology, and catered to by designers and marketers, yet persistently elude all efforts to capture and control them. Artists now experiment with the senses in bold new ways, disrupting conventional canons of aesthetics. How many senses are there? What are the uses of the senses – all of them? How is perception shaped by cultures and technologies? In what ways are the senses hierarchized by gender, class, or race? What are the social implications of the growing emphasis on the management of sensation (or, commercialization of the sensorium)? How might a focus on the cultural life of the senses yield new insights into processes of cognition and emotion? The Senses & Society aims to: Explore the intersection between culture and the senses Promote research on the politics of perception and the aesthetics of everyday life Address architectural, marketing and design initiatives in relation to the senses Publish reviews of books and multi-sensory exhibitions throughout the world Publish special issues concentrating on particular themes relating to the senses The Senses and Society was founded in 2006 by Michael Bull and David Howes, together with Doug Kahn and Paul Gilroy. The journal carries full-length articles and a range of reviews (sensory design, book, conference and exhibition). It is the vanguard journal of the sensory turn in the humanities, social sciences, and fine and applied arts. Peer Review Policy: All research articles published in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two anonymous referees.
