This groundbreaking volume applies this idea to material culture and the social practices that endow objects with meanings in both colonial and postcolonial relationships. It challenges the privileged position of the sense of vision in the analysis of material culture. Contributors argue that vision can only be understood in relation to the other senses. In this they present another challenge to the assumed western five-sense model, and show how our understanding of material culture in both historical and contemporary contexts might be reconfigured if we consider the role of smell, taste, touch and sound, as well as sight, in making meanings about objects.Wenner-Gren international series.Material cultureSenses and sensationHuman bodySocial aspectsEthnological museums and collectionsColoniesPostcolonialismMaterial culture.Senses and sensation.Human bodySocial aspects.Ethnological museums and collections.Colonies.Postcolonialism.306Edwards Elizabeth1952-Gosden Chris1955-Phillips Ruth B(Ruth Bliss),1945-UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910777489103321Sensible objects85869UNINA
