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. 410 0$aWenner-Gren Center international symposium series. 606 $aMaterial culture 606 $aSenses and sensation 606 $aHuman body$xSocial aspects 606 $aEthnological museums and collections 606 $aColonies 606 $aPostcolonialism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMaterial culture. 615 0$aSenses and sensation. 615 0$aHuman body$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aEthnological museums and collections. 615 0$aColonies. 615 0$aPostcolonialism. 676 $a306.4 702 $aEdwards$b Elizabeth$f1952- 702 $aGosden$b Chris$f1955- 702 $aPhillips$b Ruth B$g(Ruth Bliss),$f1945- 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451352203321 996 $aSensible objects$985869 997 $aUNINA
