What does it mean to practise　art history after the material and sensory turns? What is an image, if not a purely visual phenomenon, and how does it prompt non-visual sensory experiences? The multi-sensoriality of the image was a less challenging concept before the　ocularcentric modern age, and so this volume brings together a global array of scholars from multiple disciplines to ask these questions of imagery in premodern or non-western contexts, ranging from Minoan palace frescoes, to Roman statues, early church sermons, tombs of Byzantine saints, museum displays of Islamic artefacts of scent, medieval depictions of the voice, and Stuart court masques. Each chapter presents a means of appreciating images beyond the　visual, demonstrating the new information and understanding that consequently can be gleaned from their material.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs a collection, these chapters offer the student and scholar of art history and visual culture an array of exciting new approaches that can be applied to appreciate the multi-sensoriality of images in any context, as well as prompts for　reflection on future directions in the study of imagery. \u003ci\u003eThe Multi-Sensory Image \u003c\/i\u003ethus illustrates that it is not only possible to explore the non-visual impact of images, but imperative.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Heather Hunter-Crawley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 113869813X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138698130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/20\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Heather Hunter-Crawley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46052214374655,"sku":"9781138698130","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_868aaab8-a400-4b0f-a7f8-d91e96020b38.jpg?v=1723555667","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-multi-sensory-image-from-antiquity-heather-hunter-crawley-9781138698130","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
