Mediality of Smells / M�dialit� Des Odeurs

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (28029 ratings)

Description:The study of scents and all things olfactory is thriving, a sign of the great interest that our information-based society feels for a sense that seems to offer a direct and immediate experience of reality. But smells resist description and representation, especially given that they are closely linked to individual personal experience, and their perception has changed through time and space in a myriad of ways. This volume aims to contribute to the flourishing multidisciplinary exchanges around smells by examining the question of their mediality, focusing on the mechanisms by which the olfactory experience, as well as the scents themselves, circulate and are diffused, but also by exploring the modes of smell as a medium in itself. Drawing on a wide variety of approaches, cultural zones, and historical periods, this volume gathers the contributions of twenty-one researchers who specialize in this field in order to explore the multiple aspects of olfactory culture, which characterizes and shapes our relations to smells.La richesse de l'actualit� en mati�re d'odeurs et d'odorat t�moigne du vif int�r�t de nos soci�t�s de l'information pour un sens qui semble offrir une saisie directe et imm�diate du r�el. Circulant de mani�re tr�s variable � travers le temps et l'espace, les odeurs font l'objet d'une perception qui r�siste d'autant plus � la description et � la repr�sentation qu'elle reste individuelle et li�e � l'histoire personnelle. Ce volume vise � contribuer aux �changes interdisciplinaires sur l'olfaction � travers la question de la m�dialit�, en s'interrogeant sur les m�canismes par lesquels l'exp�rience olfactive et les odeurs sont transmises et diffus�es, mais aussi en explorant les modalit�s de l'odeur comme m�dium. Proposant une diversit� d'approches, d'aires culturelles et de p�riodes, ce volume rassemble les contributions de vingt-et-un sp�cialistes qui �tudient comment la culture olfactive caract�rise et construit nos rapports aux odeurs.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
