This book offers cutting-edge insights in cultural transformations of the sensory with particular emphasis on environments and technologies, articulating a special moment in the sensory history of urban Europe as people’s relationship with their environment is increasingly shaped through digital technologies.

Recenzje

'At a time when our relationship with urban environments is increasingly shaped by digital technologies, this book draws on comparative research in three European cities to bring fresh perspectives on people’s multi-sensory experiences of such environments and how these experiences have changed over time. Chapters by established scholars and new voices develop common themes deserving of a broad, interdisciplinary readership. Particularly welcome is the examination of intersections not just between the senses and different types of media, but also between mobility and memory, ageing and generation, natural and built environments. Combining a shared, innovative research methodology with rich theoretical insights, the book offers new ways of understanding the complexities of urban living.'
