Teaching Exchange - Sensory anthropology (Rajko Mursic) 05-TE2-12-EtnC

The author will give a basic overview of sensorial revolution (Howes 2016) in anthropology. Ethnography is primarily an experience. It is sensorial activity embedded in the everyday life of people an ethnographer stays among and working with. The course will deal with everyday life and mundane details in ethnographic research, taken from the perspective of continental, i.e. European ethnology and sensorial studies. Integral part of the course will be a guided sensorial walk. The course will as well present embodied memories of specific constitutive places of everyday life, based on results of ongoing research of sensory transformation in Turku, Ljubljana and Brighton.
