Sensory studies arises at the conjuncture (and within) the fields of anthropology • sociology • history • archeology • geography • communications • religion • philosophy • literature • art history • museology • film • mixed media • performance • phenomenology • disability • aesthetics • architecture • urbanism • design

Sensory Studies can also be divided along sensory lines into, for example, visual culture, auditory culture (or sound studies), smell culture, taste culture and the culture of touch, not to mention the sixth sense (however it might be defined)

Uncommon Senses V Virtual Book Exhibition

 

This list of titles, sorted alphabetically by last name, is culled from the bios that the registered participants in the Uncommon Senses IV conference (3-6 May 2023) sent us together with their recent publication submissions. In many cases, the publishers generously agreed to offer discounts for use by conference participants. You can find these discount codes attached to their associated listings.

Many of these listings can also be found in the Books of Note page of the Sensory Studies website. The Books of Note page is regularly updated with news of the latest publications in the ever expanding field of sensory studies.
