Among the senses olfaction in particular has often been overlooked in classical reception studies due to its evanescent nature, which makes this sense difficult to apprehend in its past instantiations. And yet, the smells associated with a given figure or social group convey a rich imagery which in turn connotes specific values: perfumes, scents and foul odours both reflect and mould the ways in which a society thinks or acts. Smells also help to distinguish between male and female, citizens and strangers, and play an important role during rituals. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Smells and Senses of Antiquity in the Modern Imagination\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on the representation of ancient smells - both enticing and repugnant - in the visual and performative arts from the late 18th century up to the 21st century. The individual contributions explore painting, sculpture, literature and film, but also theatrical performance, museum exhibitions, advertising, television series, historical reenactment and graphic novels, which have all played a part in reshaping modern audiences' perceptions and experiences of the antique.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adeline Grand-Cl駑ent\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350251631\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350251632\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/29\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.62d","brand":"Adeline Grand-Cl駑ent","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44069434523903,"sku":"9781350251632","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cba52820-f5a6-42c6-8bb7-a335b4a305ee.jpg?v=1685424690","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-smells-and-senses-of-adeline-grand-clment-9781350251632","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
