"This book claims a political value for olfactory artworks by situating them squarely in the contemporary moment of various forms of political resistance. Each chapter presents the current research and art practices of an international group of artists and writers from the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Switzerland, Thailand, Sweden, and the Netherlands. The book brings together new thinking on the potential for olfactory art to critique and produce modes of engagement that challenge the still-powerful hegemonic realities of the twenty-first century, particularly the dominance of vision as opposed to other sensory modalities. The book will be of interest to scholars working in contemporary art, art history, visual culture, olfactory studies, performance studies, and politics of activism"--

This volume presents novel cross-linguistic insights into how olfactory experiences are expressed in typologically (un-)related languages both from a synchronic and from a diachronic perspective. It contains a general introduction to the topic and fourteen chapters based on philological investigation and thorough fieldwork data from Basque, Beja, Fon, Formosan languages, Hebrew, Indo-European languages, Japanese, Kartvelian languages, Purepecha, and languages of northern Vanuatu. Topics discussed in the individual chapters involve, inter alia, lexical olfactory repertoires and naming strategies, non-literal meanings of olfactory expressions and their semantic change, reduplication, colexification, mimetics, and language contact. The findings provide the reader with a range of fascinating facts about perception description, contribute to a deeper understanding of how olfaction as an understudied sense is encoded linguistically, and offer new theoretical perspectives on how some parts of our cognitive system are verbalized cross-culturally. This volume is highly relevant to lexical typologists, historical linguists, grammarians, and anthropologists.

Comment penser le sens de l'odorat à partir des environnements que nous habitons ? Que nous apprend cette sensorialité si particulière du monde dans lequel nous vivons, et que nous construisons ? Cet ouvrage collectif international convoque des disciplines de réflexion et de création diverses qui chacune nous offre une perspective inédite. Réunis autour d'une approche architecturale, nous explorons les horizons inédits sur lesquels ouvre le monde des odeurs. Nous y découvrons des sensibilités intimes, des atmosphères enveloppantes, des pratiques inspirantes.

Een tentoonstelling over de uitbeelding van geur in kunst van de zeventiende eeuw. Geurende bloemen en parfums, stinkende grachten en onwelriekende lichaamsluchtjes, geur en gezondheid, nieuwe geuren uit de verre wereld (specerijen, tabak, koffie en thee), de verdwenen geuren van bleekvelden, oude ambachten en meer. Valt het leven van de zeventiende eeuw in geuren te vangen? Hoe werd geur (en de reuk) uitgebeeld? Welke betekenis hechtte men aan geur? En welke aromatische gevoelswaardes hebben kunstwerken? Het Mauritshuis gaat in deze tentoonstelling op geur-historisch onderzoek uit. Bij de kunst worden diverse historische geuren gebrouwen om de schilderijen in de tentoonstelling tot leven te wekken.
