About the Book

In recent years, there has been a re-discovery of the importance of sensory experience in our daily lives. The senses play a vital role in our health, in our social interactions, and in enjoying food, music and the arts. This book provides an introduction to the study of the senses and the arts. It contains over thirty chapters written by artists/practitioners, including, musicians, visual artists, a "sculptor for the blind", a celebrity chef, a choreographer, designers, and architects. It also includes chapters by leading neuroscientists and psychologists who study the senses, as well as chapters from scholars from the humanities, including, art history, anthropology, and cultural studies. The book provides a unique interdisciplinary overview of the senses, ranging from the neuroscience of sensory processing in the body, to cultural influences on how the senses are used in society, to the role of the senses in the arts. The chapters are written by leading academics, artists and scientists, each of whom brings different perspectives and experiences to the book. Together, these chapters form a timely snapshot of research on the human senses which makes clear a number of common themes that run across the arts, humanities, and sciences. The first book of its kind, 'Art and the Senses' will be a valuable tool for anyone interested in how the senses interact with eachother to create meaningful human experience.

Review :
`Art and the Senses is a vitally important book and applies to so many different research disciplines that I cannot begin to suggest them all. One area that will benefit immensely from the application of the findings presented in this volume is the healing profession, particularly psychotherapy and art therapy.' Leonardo Journal `Art and the Senses is no shrinking violet. Weighing in at just under 650 pages, it covers a lot of ground. There is literally something for everyone; all the essays are well written, accessible to both academic and well educated general readers and cover a huge range of history. Art and the Senses is a vitally important book.' Leonardo Reviews `This is, by any standards, a remarkable collection, which brings together a diversity of theoretically minded scholars, scientists, artists, and others.' Michael Silk, The Times Literary Supplement
