This book presents a critical analysis of sense-making practices through an exploration of acoustic, creative, and artistic spaces. It studies how local cultures of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch are impacted by global discourses and media.
"The essays in this volume embody a variety of phenomenological approaches in exploring different sensory environments and social spaces while being sensitive to questions of cultural difference. A unique and significant contribution to the literature on sense-making."
Dipesh Chakrabarty
"This timely collection of essays marks a deepening of the global dialogue on the way in which sensory regimes mediate experiential specifics and shape the ways through which forms of the body and the body of forms co-produce one another. The range of examples in this collection is an eloquent reminder of the endless variety of human phenomenological archives."
