The Senses: Anthropological and Historical Perspectives
Coordinators: Marie Fourcade (CEIAS), Tiziana Leucci (CEIAS), Raphaël Rousseleau (Université de Lausanne)
Following the CEIAS thematic research workshop "Love; Between Norm and Transgression: Art, History, Fiction" (2014-2018) which focused on the expression of love within the more general framework of emotion, we propose to expand the workshop objective to include study of the history and anthropology of senses and sensitivities. This area has undergone significant development in recent years and is evident in both English and French literature.
Incorporating an intensive investigation of the representations and uses/techniques of the body, this theme allows us to approach critically the five senses: vision (cf. classical study of the "darshanam," darśana, but also more contemporary versions); hearing (sound, noise, music); smell (essence, odor, perfume); taste (flavor, food, spice); touch (embrace, caress, touch). This examination of the "sensory landscapes" will result in a better understanding of the codes and socio-anthropological dynamics at work in the hierarchies of the senses (links to statutes and socio-professional practices, distinction strategies, etc.). The senses obviously play a crucial role in cultural perceptions (aesthetic, but also cognitive) of the world.
In "The Senses: Anthropological and Historical Perspectives," particular attention will be paid to the use of new media. In this next phase of the "Love" study, our new expanded objectives will also involve the following disciplines: literature, literary and social history, aesthetics, performing arts and cinema. Among other things, we will examine the links between personal feelings, social norms and cultural representations.
