Howes, David, 'Sensing cultures: cinema, ethnography and the senses', in Rupert Cox, Andrew Irving, and Christopher Wright (eds), Beyond text?

Abstract
This essay reflects on various contributions to the Beyond Text volume, from the point of view of the anthropology of the senses. It makes the point that sensory anthropology has a long history in the discipline, which although side-lined by the approach to ‘culture as text’ and subsequent experiments with writing, has recently been revived; not least by the 2007 conference that gave rise to this book. It comments particularly on the critical potential of the medium of film to be a form of sensory ethnography and takes issue with the phenomenological arguments of the anthropologist Tim Ingold.
