Inhalte
A myriad of sensations inform and direct us when we engage with the
environment. To understand their influence on the development of our
habitus it is important to focus on unifying processes in sensing. This
approach allows us to include phenomena that elude a rather narrow view
that focuses on each of the five discrete senses in isolation. One of
the central questions addressed in this volume is whether there is
something like a sensual habitus, and if there is, how it can be
defined. This is especially done by exploring the formation and
habituation of the senses in and by a culturally shaped habitat. Two key
concepts, Synaesthesia and Kinaesthetics, are addressed as
essential components for an understanding of the interface of habitat
and the rich and multisensory experience of a perceiving subject.
At a Berlin-based conference Synaesthesia and Kinaesthetics,
scholars from various disciplines gathered to discuss these issues. In
bringing together the outcome of these discussions, this book gives new
insights into the key phenomena of sensory integration and synaesthetic
experiences, it enriches the perspectives on sensually embedded
interaction and its habituation, and it expands this interdisciplinary
inquiry to questions about the cultures of sensory habitus.
