A Sensory History Manifesto
A Sensory History Manifesto is a brief and timely meditation on the state of the field.It invites historians who are unfamiliar with sensory history to adopt some of its insights and practices, and it urges current practitioners to think in new ways about writing histories of the senses. Starting from the premise that the sensorium is a historical formation, Mark M.Smith traces the origins of historical work on the senses long before the emergence of the field now called “sensory history,” interrogating, exploring, and in some cases recovering pioneering work on the topic.Smith argues that we are at an important moment in the writing of the history of the senses, and he explains the potential that this field holds for the study of history generally.In addition to highlighting the strengths of current work in sensory history, Smith also identifies some of its shortcomings.If sensory history provides historians of all persuasions, times, and places a useful and incisive way to write about the past, it also challenges current practitioners to think more carefully about the historicity of the senses and the desirability—even the urgency—of engaged and sustained debate among themselves.In this way, A Sensory History Manifesto invites scholars to think about how their field needs to evolve if the real interpretive dividends of sensory history are to be realized. Concise and convincing, A Sensory History Manifesto is a must-read for historians of all specializations.

Shakespeare / Sense : Contemporary Readings in Sensory Culture
Shakespeare | Sense explores the intersection of Shakespeare and sensory studies, asking what sensation can tell us about early modern drama and poetry, and, conversely, how Shakespeare explores the senses in his literary craft, his fictional worlds, and his stagecraft. 15 substantial new essays by leading Shakespeareans working in sensory studies and related disciplines interrogate every aspect of Shakespeare and sense, from the place of hearing, smell, sight, touch, and taste in early modern life, literature, and performance culture, through to the significance of sensation in 21st century engagements with Shakespeare on stage, screen and page. The volume explores and develops current methods for studying Shakespeare and sensation, reflecting upon the opportunities and challenges created by this emergent and influential area of scholarly enquiry.Many chapters develop fresh readings of particular plays and poems, from Hamlet, A Midsummer Night's Dream, King Lear, and The Tempest to less-studied works such as The Comedy of Errors, Venus and Adonis, Troilus and Cressida, and Cymbeline.

Contemporary Art Cinema Culture in China
How do contemporary Chinese audiences access art cinema?What are the alternative channels for the distribution and exhibition of art cinema in China?How is Chinese art cinema changing with the booming of internet media and commodity culture in the 21st century? To answer these questions, Xiang Fan explores the dynamic networks of art cinema in China in the 21st century, highlighting the cultural practices of intermediaries such as independent programmers, internet critics, and fan translators.Offering insights gleaned from original ethnographic research, Fan reveals how these intermediary practitioners think about cinema, negotiate judgement and appreciation, construct a discourse of value and taste, and most importantly, constitute a coordinated and interrelated network for the sharing of art cinema.She argues that although their motivation was derived from a cinephilia seeking to forge an alternative mode of distribution and reception, the ‘new’ cinema culture they have produced simultaneously negotiates a subtly complicit relationship with authoritative and market forces.In doing so, she offers an original interdisciplinary perspective on contemporary art cinema culture in Chinese society.

What are sensory cells, sensory organs, and senses?
Sensory cells are specialized cells that detect and respond to specific stimuli, such as light, sound, touch, taste, and smell. These cells are found in sensory organs, which are structures in the body that contain sensory cells and are responsible for detecting and transmitting sensory information to the brain. The senses, on the other hand, are the physiological capacities of organisms that provide data for perception. They include sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell, and are essential for experiencing and interacting with the environment.
-
What is the difference between a primary sensory cell, a secondary sensory cell, and a sensory nerve cell?
Primary sensory cells are specialized cells that directly detect stimuli from the environment, such as light, sound, or touch. Secondary sensory cells receive signals from primary sensory cells and transmit them to the central nervous system. Sensory nerve cells, also known as sensory neurons, are responsible for transmitting the signals from secondary sensory cells to the brain, where they are processed and interpreted. In summary, primary sensory cells detect stimuli, secondary sensory cells relay the signals, and sensory nerve cells transmit the signals to the brain for processing.
-
What is sensory perception?
Sensory perception refers to the process of receiving and interpreting information from the environment through the senses. This includes the five main senses of sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell, as well as other sensory experiences such as balance, proprioception, and temperature. The brain then processes this sensory information to create a perception of the world around us, allowing us to interact with and understand our surroundings. Sensory perception is essential for everyday functioning and plays a crucial role in how we experience and navigate the world.
-
Are receptors sensory cells?
Receptors are not sensory cells themselves, but they are specialized proteins located on the surface of sensory cells. These receptors are responsible for detecting and responding to specific stimuli, such as light, sound, taste, or smell. When a receptor is activated by a stimulus, it triggers a series of biochemical reactions within the sensory cell, ultimately leading to the generation of a sensory signal that can be transmitted to the brain for processing. Therefore, while receptors are not sensory cells, they play a crucial role in the sensory process by detecting and transducing stimuli into neural signals.

What are artificial sensory organs?
Artificial sensory organs are devices designed to mimic the functions of natural sensory organs, such as the eyes, ears, and skin. These devices use advanced technology to detect and process sensory information, allowing individuals to perceive and interact with their environment in a way that is similar to natural sensory organs. Artificial sensory organs have the potential to enhance or restore sensory capabilities for individuals with disabilities, as well as to provide new sensory experiences for people without impairments. These technologies have the potential to revolutionize healthcare and human-computer interaction.
-
What are sensory nerve cells?
Sensory nerve cells, also known as sensory neurons, are specialized cells that transmit information from the body's sensory organs (such as the skin, eyes, ears, nose, and tongue) to the central nervous system. These cells are responsible for detecting various stimuli, such as touch, temperature, pain, and pressure, and converting these stimuli into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain. Sensory nerve cells play a crucial role in allowing us to perceive and respond to our environment.
-
Why is sensory transduction necessary?
Sensory transduction is necessary because it allows the body to convert various forms of environmental stimuli, such as light, sound, touch, and chemical signals, into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the nervous system. This process is essential for the body to perceive and respond to its surroundings, allowing for the detection of potential dangers, the regulation of bodily functions, and the experience of sensations such as taste, smell, and touch. Without sensory transduction, the body would not be able to effectively interact with its environment and respond to changes in its surroundings.
-
How does sensory development progress?
Sensory development progresses through a series of stages, beginning with basic sensory experiences such as touch, taste, and smell in infancy. As children grow, they develop more refined sensory abilities, such as improved vision and hearing, and begin to integrate sensory information to make sense of their environment. This process continues into adolescence and adulthood, with individuals becoming more adept at interpreting and responding to sensory stimuli. Overall, sensory development progresses from basic sensory experiences to more complex and integrated sensory abilities as individuals mature.
