Variety of useful articles.

- Senses in art: Priere de Toucher. This is a really good set of examples of artworks which gather more than one sense, and in their theoretical speech you can read their worry about this. I think it worths to read and think the possible role of art in this current life reflections.


The senses and society. A really different and specific magazine about the topic we are studying.

"Sensation is fundamental to our experience of the world. Shaped by culture, gender and class, the senses mediate between mind and body, idea and object, self and environment. The senses are increasingly extended beyond the body through technology, and catered to by designers and marketers, yet persistently elude all efforts to capture and control them. Artists now experiment with the senses in bold new ways, disrupting conventional canons of aesthetics.
  • How many senses are there?
  • What are the uses of the senses – all of them?
  • How is perception shaped by cultures and technologies?
  • In what ways are the senses hierarchized by gender, class, or race?
  • What are the social implications of the growing emphasis on the management of sensation (or, commercialization of the sensorium)?
  • How might a focus on the cultural life of the senses yield new insights into processes of cognition and emotion?"
