Encountering Spiking Neural Networks
Over the past two decades, the term “intelligent media” has surfaced to describe media that take on problematics of cognition, communication, and sensory perception loosely modeled after human intelligence. Taking the form of hardware‐software assemblages, these novel media demonstrate forms of autonomy that challenge human control and herald a complete redistribution of the sensible and agential. The aim of this article is to illuminate the shif…
Sensational Books
The collideroscopic sensorium
The French navigator, biologist and documentarist Jacques-Yves Cousteau published in 1953 the book Le monde du silence (The silent world, coauthored by Frédéric Dumas). The film of the same name, codirected by Cousteau and Louis Malle, was released in 1956. Although hydrophones were invented some 100 years ago, it seems that Cousteau never used them. Meanwhile, advances in acoustic research have made it possible to revisit the supposedly silent w…
The Sensory Studies Manifesto
Quali(a)tative Methods
This paper begins by tracing the sensory turn in the human sciences-most notably, history and anthropology-which, in turn, gave rise to the interdisciplinary field of sensory studies. The latter field is articulated around the concept of the sensorium (defined as the entire sensory apparatus, including the extension of the senses via diverse media, as an operational complex) and the notion of qualia (defined as those aspects of the material world…
The misperception of the environment
This article presents a critical evaluation of the work of Tim Ingold from the standpoint of social and sensory anthropology. It acknowledges the novelty of the emphasis on enskillment, movement, process, and growth in Ingold's work. However, it is critical of his abstraction of the senses, which are rendered 'interchangeable', and of persons, who are reduced to generic individuals. Ingold's anthropology is shown to be pre-cultural and post-socia…
In defense of materiality
This article presents a defense of the concept of materiality in the face of Tim Ingold's critique of the concept as part of his "efforts to restore anthropology to life" in Being Alive and elsewhere. While acknowledging the forcefulness of Ingold's stress on the "liveliness" of materials, and doctrine of perception "as action" (not representation), it critiques the way he neuters the perceiving subject, abstracts the senses, disregards the sensu…
Empire of the Senses
Inverted Archetypes
This essay describes the ways in which two eastern Indonesian societies move meaning in different directions so as to distinguish themselves from each other. An attempt is made to uncover the laws of this motion, and thus account for the particular form which each society takes. It is shown that the differences between the societies of the Kei and Tanimbar Islands may be enucleated in terms of the operation of a limited set of laws or principles …
Sense and Non-Sense in Contemporary Ethno/Graphic Practice and Theory
This essay presents an overview and critique of the "textual revolution" in anthropological theory and practice. The author argues that this revolution, which commenced with Geertz′s suggestion that cultures be treated "as texts" and culminated in Writing Culture, has precipitated a flight from theory to style. It is further argued that anthropologists should abandon "the model of the text" and re-learn how to use their senses. Various examples a…
Afterword
The sensory turn and the affective turn in contemporary scholarship both crystalised at roughly the same time but then diverged. This special issue reintegrates them. Conjointly, these twin approaches direct attention to the multiplicity, agency, and interactivity of the full spectrum of human faculties (i.e., how the senses and affects intersect with and may also disrupt the rule of reason) in addition to highlighting the extent to which 'the pe…
Sensual Relations
With audacious dexterity, David Howes weaves together topics ranging from love and beauty magic in Papua New Guinea to nasal repression in Freudian psychology and from the erasure and recovery of the senses in contemporary ethnography to the specter of the body in Marx. Through this eclectic and penetrating exploration of the relationship between sensory experience and cultural expression, Sensual Relations contests the conventional exclusion of …

Multisensory Anthropology
The senses are made, not given. Multisensory anthropology focuses on the variable boundaries, differential elaboration, and many different ways of combining the senses across (and within) cultures. Its methodology is grounded in "participant sensation," or sensing-and making sense-along with others, also known as sensory ethnography. This review article traces the sensualization of anthropological theory and practice since the early 1990s, showin…

Toward a Medical Anthropology of Sensations
In this article, we outline the importance of a medical anthropology of sensations for theories of psychopathology and psychological healing. We define what is meant by `sensation' (differentiating monomodal and polymodal sensations) and describe some of the mechanisms that generate and amplify sensations. We propose the heuristic use of the concepts of sensation schemas, sensation interpretants, and sensation scripts. We argue against the naive …

Just as time and space are not perceived by the vast majority of human societies as a regular continuum and grid, so the [sensorium] is rarely thought of in strictly biological terms . . .The five senses are given different emphases and different meanings in different societies.A certain sense may be privileged as a sensory mode.It is important to analyse how people think they perceive.'

Les techniques des sens
Les techniques des sens C'est par une combinaison des cinq sens que les êtres humains perçoivent le monde, mais le mode de combinaison est loin d'être constant. Les cinq sens reçoivent différentes accentuations et différentes significations dans différentes sociétés. Ces différences sont souvent manifestées par des décorations du corps (par exemple, des disques d'oreilles, des disques labiaux, ou des ornements nasaux). Cette idée est étudiée en s…
Le sens sans parole
Le sens sans parole : vers une anthropologie de l'odorat L'article adopte l'idée que le symbolisme des odeurs occupe un espace à mi-distance entre le sensoriel et l'intelligible, entre le stimulus pur et simple et la représentation culturelle (le concept). Une distinction est faite entre les cultures odoriphiles, qui valorisent l'odorat comme source importante de connaissances systématiques, et les cultures odoriphobes, qui s'occupent moins d'int…
The Skinscape
This article theorizes the dermalogical turn - heralded by the publication of this special issue - from a sensory studies perspective. Sensory studies involves a cultural approach to the study of the senses and a sensory approach to the study of culture. The skin is both an object and means of perception. Understandings of the skin and of touch vary across cultures: the skin may be seen as social rather than individual, as porous instead of an en…

Sensing art and artifacts
This article proposes a sensory studies methodology for the interpretation of museum objects. The proposed method unfolds in two phases: virtual encounter via an on-line catalog and actual exposure in the context of a handling workshop. In addition to exploring the écart between image and object, the “Sensing Art and Artifacts” exercise articulates a framework for arriving at a multisensory, cross-cultural, interactive understanding of aesthetic …

Les sens assoupis
En partant de la prémisse que tout artefact est porteur d'une culture et d'un ensemble de qualités sensorielles, cette étude se concentre sur la régulation sensorielle et sociale des artefacts dans les musées, où ces derniers sont soumis au régime sensoriel de l'institution. Dans un contexte nord-américain, ce « sensorium muséal » limite les artefacts strictement à leurs attributs visuels et dissimule, par conséquent, la nature multisensorielle d…

What is Good for Anthropology in Canada
This paper examines the nature of Canadian Anthropology in terms of a fundamental bicentricity. It is argued that the binarism of Canadian Anthropology reflects the constitution of Canadian society and marks it off from its American counterpart where difference in general, and binarism in particular, are submerged in a "unity of we". The argument is constructed in the context of a consideration of which texts might be rightfully installed in a Ca…

Introduction
The relationship between law and popular culture is a complex and multi-faceted one. The essays in this special issue examine this relationship from different angles, and at the same time seek to sharpen our sense of “popular justice.” The lead article by Alan Hunt traces the attitudes of Europe's governing elites to the culture of the masses from the 1400s on, and shows how law has traditionally been used to “reform” popular culture—or in other …
Combating Cultural Appropriation in the American Southwest
Cultural appropriation involves the unauthorized use of elements of another culture (e.g., voice, practices, image or name) to the appropriator's commercial advantage. Cultural appropriation is experienced by some Native American cultures as an attack on their integrity which jeopardizes their very survival. The case of the Hopi Indians of Arizona is examined. The essay goes on to explore and evaluate various recourses which Native American peopl…

De l'oralité et de la lettre de la loi
Orality and the Letter of the Law. This essay extends P. Bourdieu's discussion of « the force of form » by interrogating the force which resides in the medium of legal discourse. Significant changes in the norms of legal discourse can be discerned when a legal tradition undergoes the transition from being oral to being written, as shown in the first case study presented here, which concerns the codification of the private law of Quebec. The secon…
