The author brings fresh perspectives on the study of consumer culture by applying theoretical insights drawn from musicology, cultural history and art history to analyse a wide range of sources, including sounds that affect the senses. This interdisciplinary book would appeal to those interested in the history of commercial culture, visual culture, and musicology." ? Haejeong Hazel Hahn, Professor of History, Seattle University, USA This book uncovers how during the origins of modernity in the nineteenth century the senses were mobilised to sell more, both through the popularisation of objects aimed at the senses (such as panoramas, optical boxes, automatons, music boxes and pianolas), and also through marketing mechanisms (for example, advertising and window dressing). All these novel objects and spaces had one thing in common: the aim of attracting the public by stimulating the senses. By examining practices that mobilised the senses in the emerging fields of advertising, marketing and the leisure industry, and through an approach that involves elements from the history of the senses, visual studies, sound studies and aesthetics, this book explores what this new sensory-driven mass culture was all about. The basis of English translation of this book, originally in Spanish Vidas excitadas. Sensorialidad y capitalismo en la cultura moderna (2022), was facilitated by artificial intelligence. The author, with the support of Lucille Banham, has subsequently revised the text further in an endeavour to refine the work stylistically. Sonsoles Hernández Barbosa is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Historical Sciences and Art Theory at the University of the Balearic Islands, Spain. 606 $aCivilization$xHistory 606 $aCulture$xStudy and teaching 606 $aSocial history 606 $aHistory, Modern 606 $aEurope$xHistory 606 $aCultural History 606 $aCultural Studies 606 $aSocial History 606 $aModern History 606 $aEuropean History 615 0$aCivilization$xHistory. 615 0$aCulture$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aSocial history. 615 0$aHistory, Modern. 615 0$aEurope$xHistory. 615 14$aCultural History. 615 24$aCultural Studies. 615 24$aSocial History. 615 24$aModern History. 615 24$aEuropean History. 676 $a330.12209 700 $aHerna?ndez Barbosa$b Sonsoles$00 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910951804503321 996 $aExciting the Body$94327805 997 $aUNINA
