The Multi-Sensory Image from Antiquity to the Renaissance Hunter-Crawley Heather
This volume responds to calls in visual and material cultural studies to move beyond the visual and to explore the multi-sensory impact of the image, across a wide range of cultural and historical contexts. What is an image, if not a purely visual phenomenon, and how does it prompt non-visual sensory experiences? What does it mean to practise art history after the material and sensory turns?
Each chapter presents a 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.
