"La première modernité catalyse la genèse de ce nouveau champ d'expériences publiques que sont les loisirs et les divertissements : théâtres, musées, expositions temporaires, promenades, cafés, foires, danses, jardins, auxquelles peut s'adonner la population européenne. La pratique de ces activités instaure au quotidien chez les particuliers un cadre physique et social stimulant, les plaçant ainsi au cœur d'une action qui excite chacun de leurs sens, de leurs sensations et de leurs émotions. En s'inscrivant dans le domaine de l'histoire des sensibilités, la question de ce corps sensoriel qui prend forme demeure encore largement inexplorée. Cette publication s'attache donc à retracer et analyser les tenants et les aboutissants de ce qui a permis de façonner cette entité singulière durant le long XVIIIe siècle (1660-1830)."--Page 4 of cover.

"The senses are made, not given. This revolutionary realization has come as of late to inform research across the social sciences and humanities, and is currently inspiring groundbreaking experimentation in the world of art and design, where the focus is now on mixing and manipulating the senses. The Sensory Studies Manifesto tracks these transformations and opens multiple lines of investigation into the diverse ways in which human beings sense and make sense of the world. This unique volume treats the human sensorium as a dynamic whole, which is best approached from historical, anthropological, geographic, and sociological perspectives. In doing so, it has altered our understanding of sense perception by directing attention to the sociality of sensation and the cultural mediation of sense experience and expression. David Howes challenges the assumptions of mainstream Western psychology by foregrounding the agency, interactivity, creativity, and wisdom of the senses as shaped by culture. The Sensory Studies Manifesto sets the stage for a radical reorientation of research in the human sciences and artistic practice."--

"How do our senses help us to understand the world? This question, which preoccupied Enlightenment thinkers, also emerged as a key theme in depictions of animals in eighteenth-century art. This book examines the ways in which painters such as Chardin, as well as sculptors, porcelain modelers, and other decorative designers portrayed animals as sensing subjects who physically confirmed the value of material experience. The sensual style known today as the Rococo encouraged the proliferation of animals as exemplars of empirical inquiry, ranging from the popular subject of the monkey artist to the alchemical wonders of the life-sized porcelain animals created for the Saxon court. Examining writings on sensory knowledge by La Mettre, Condillac, Diderot and other philosophers side by side with depictions of the animal in art, Cohen argues that artists promoted the animal as a sensory subject while also validating the material basis of their own professional practice"--
