Reviews

The Sensory Studies Manifesto is the capstone of David Howes' brilliant work in sensory studies. In this visionary work, Howes charts the evolution of sensory studies and demonstrates the centrality of the sensorial revolution for future studies in the arts and human sciences. - Paul Stoller, Professor of Anthropology, West Chester University and author of Sensuous Scholarship A titan in the field of sensory ethnography, David Howes has long schooled us on the fantastic sensorial diversity among humans. This book is essential reading for all who seek to understand the complexity of human sensory portals, always leveraged by culture, politics, and the futures we seek. - Caroline A. Jones, Professor of Art History, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, editor of Sensorium, and author of Eyesight Alone Anyone with an interest in the cultural presence of the senses will be indebted already to David Howes. In The Sensory Studies Manifesto, he reveals the breadth of that presence in geography, neurobiology, design, museology, and cultural anthropology - all ranging across the globe. Howes demonstrates how much new developments in these disciplines and many others owe to sensory studies. And there is more to come: the sensorial revolution is only gaining momentum. - Richard Newhauser, Professor of English, Arizona State University For more than three decades, David Howes has led the sensory studies charge through essays, books, conferences, websites, and journal editing. Once again, with The Sensory Studies Manifesto, he offers big-picture historical and contemporary scholarship that is rigorously mindful of the interplay of grounded case studies and expansive theoretical agendas. - Steven Feld, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Anthropology and Music, University of New Mexico Relentlessly trenchant, invariably insightful, and tenaciously intelligent, David Howes' sparkling new book is indispensable for any student of the senses. The Sensory Studies Manifesto is a deeply rewarding read. - Mark Smith, Carolina Distinguished Professor of History, University of South Carolina and author of A Sensory History Manifesto
