Learning the senses, learning through the senses: Anthropology of sensory perceptions

Monday 4 December 2023 - Vincent Battesti , Joël Candau

A New Book!
Vincent Battesti & Joël Candau (eds.), 2023 — Apprendre les sens, apprendre par les sens : Anthropologie des perceptions sensorielles, Paris, Éditions Pétra (series Univers sensoriels et sciences sociales), 598 p. (24 contributors)
ISBN : 978-2-84743-314-2

This work, comprising twenty chapters drawing primarily from anthropology but also incorporating sociology, psychology, neuroscience, primatology, and archaeology, offers a comprehensive overview of the various forms of sensory sharing among human beings. It demonstrates, on the one hand, that the discovery and learning of the world through the senses do not imply either a radical cognitive relativism or the confinement of each individual within a singular Umwelt. On the other hand, it highlights that sensory and multisensory learning is always subject to cultural and social modulation. We learn the senses, we learn through the senses.
