We search academic papers examining and interrogating the various critical and cultural contexts of
the senses within anthropology/ethnography and the humanities.The main themes of the conference
will focus mostly, but not exclusively, on:
__Devisualisation of the cultural/social anthropology as the alternative to traditional form
of scientific knowledge production
__Sensualizing ethnography: theory and research methods
__Anthropology of the senses as theory of the extravisual and extratextual representation
production
__Fieldwork as sensory experience
__Devisualisation as cultural trends: „new multimediality”
__Cultural hierarchies of the senses: ruling, posessing senses, creation of hierarchies of the
senses
__Cultural practices of sensualizing social reality: managing of the perception
__Processes and forms of extravisual objects creation
