Sensory Formations shows how the ‘sensual revolution’ has supplanted both the linguistic and the pictorial turns in the human sciences to generate a new field – sensual culture, where all manner of disciplines converge. Its objective is to enhance our understanding of the role of the senses in history, culture and aesthetics, by redressing an imbalance: the hegemony of vision and privileging of discourse in contemporary theory and cultural studies must be overthrown in order to reveal the role all senses play in mediating cultural experience.
