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

Monday 4 December 2023 - Vincent Battesti , Joël Candau

New Book (in French)!
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

With twenty chapters drawn primarily from anthropology, but also from sociology, psychology, neuroscience, primatology and archaeology, this book offers a vast panorama of the ways in which human beings share the sensory. It argues that discovering and learning about the world through the senses implies neither radical cognitive relativism, nor the confinement of each individual in a singular Umwelt, and that sensory and multisensory learning is always culturally modulated. We learn the senses, we learn through the senses.

I am far from being at the beginning in the list of authors (and my biggest contribution was to have sampled date palms in situ, but the paper is important: it is indeed the first time that the Wild date palm can be identified.
And this plays a crucial role in the understanding of its still mysterious domestication.

The Saharan oasis put to the test of its Landscape: The Jerid

Tuesday 10 January 2012 - Vincent Battesti

Chapter (in English) published in Virginie Lefebvre, with Aziza Chaouni (eds.), Desert Tourism: tracing the fragile edges of development, Cambridge (MA), Harvard University Press, 2012.

Certainly, oasian landscapes are “built nature”, but we maybe have to find out now by whom they were built… The oasis: a place to work or a place to stroll? The usual local definition of the garden manages a place for leisure and work unlike European tourists who underestimate the anthropic quality of a palm grove. An ethnoecology of the oasis landscape deals with the cross-actions of practices and narratives of various actors of this specific desert space.

L’Égypte au présent, Inventaire d’une société avant révolution

Wednesday 4 May 2011 - Vincent Battesti , François Ireton

Today’s Egypt: Inventory of a society prior to revolution
Paris, Sindbad-Actes Sud (coll. La Bibliothèque arabe), 1200 pages (40 contributors)
ISBN: 978-2-7427-9780-6

The “people’s revolution” in Egypt - Thawrat al-Sha’b - erupted Jan. 25, 2011 while our editor was laying out this work. The inventory of the Egyptian society that this book is offering therefore is published timely when Egypt lives a turning point in its history. Many connoisseurs of this country envisioned that large movements of political and social challenges can happen and lead to profound changes, however, no one would venture to forecast the timing, modalities and scope. Number of chapters in this book shed light on socio-economic and political issues that became intolerable in the eyes of many Egyptians, and shed light also on various social groups that became leading forces of this movement. This Égypte au présent (Egypt of today) gives a “full-size” image of the multiplicity and extent of the problems, that will have to face as challenges, the democratic system which, hopefully, will be the outcome of the process.

From Siwa to Cairo, the making of heritage feeds from the Others’ desire

Tuesday 22 December 2009 - Vincent Battesti

Article (in French) published in Égypte/Monde arabe n°5-6, 2009: Pratiques du patrimoine en Égypte et au Soudan. Issue edited by Omnia Aboukorah, Jean-Gabriel Leturcq, Alain Roussillon †.
The idea is to compare the designation of building features as heritage in Cairo and in Siwa Oasis in Egypt, apparently two very contrasted situations. The local actors (to be distinguished by categories), in Siwa and in Cairo, speak about architecture to actually mention something else.
