«Sensible Objects» is the anthropology work edited by Elizabeth Edwards, Chris Gosden and Ruth Phillips, published by Berg Publishers in paperback.
The volume starts from the idea that each culture has its own sensory registers and applies it to material culture: social practices give meaning to objects in colonial and postcolonial contexts. It questions the privilege of vision and champions smell, taste, touch and sound to understand how museums shape the relationship with the colonial past.
Published in 2006, the book is part of the Wenner-Gren International Symposium Series; the full subtitle is «Colonialism, Museums and Material Culture».
For researchers and students of anthropology, archaeology and museum studies interested in material culture and colonial legacy.
