Senses and Sensation: Critical and Primary Sources offers a comprehensive collection of key writings essential to anyone wishing to gain a critical understanding of sensory studies. The four volumes include 101 essays from leading scholars in the humanities social sciences arts and design biology psychology and the neurosciences. Drawing upon historical and contemporary texts from a wide range of sources this set is inspired by the sensory turn in the humanities social sciences and fine arts which has challenged the monopoly that psychology formerly held over the study of senses and sensation. It also builds upon the revolution in psychology and the neurosciences which has led to an increased emphasis on the interaction and integration of the senses in place of the one-sense-at-a-time approach. Ordered by discipline the volumes cover geography and anthropology history and sociology biology psychology and neuroscience and art and design. Each volume is separately introduced and the essays structured into coherent sections on specific themes. Language: English
