Robert Jutte explores a wealth of different traditions, images, metaphors and ideas that have survived through time and describes how sensual impressions change the way in which we experience the world.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Throughout history, societies have been both intrigued or unsettled by the five senses. The author looks at the way in which the social world conditions our perception and traces the 'rediscovery' of sensual pleasure in the twentieth century, paying attention to experiences as varied as fast food, deoderization, and extra-sensory perception. He concludes by exploring technological change and cyberspace, reflecting on how developments in these fields will affect our relationship with the senses in the future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert J?te\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 074562958X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780745629582\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/10\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.84d","brand":"Robert J?te","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44717162856703,"sku":"9780745629582","price":41.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f27f03d7-26ac-429c-b932-9c7aab71f762.jpg?v=1705687224","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-history-of-the-senses-robert-jtte-9780745629582","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
