The Senses and Memory

This collection is at once courageous with an edifying potential in welding together conceptual debates across such domains as the senses, memory-making and materiality. Traversing across different parts of the world and through a range of places and spaces, the contributors together convey a fascinating and poignant set of arguments that will appeal to readers with wide-ranging curiosities.

Memory Studies meet Sensory Studies in this scintillating compendium of research into the materiality, mixity, creativity, affectivity and atrocity of the ephemeral. “The Senses and Memory” is a capital contribution to sensuous scholarship by virtue of the way the contributors revive memories and memorialize sense-experience. Alexander Scriabin, no less than Marcel Proust, would have been thoroughly impressed by this book.
