Description
The Timeline will present key events, texts and scientific or technological developments that have marked the history of the senses. The Timeline will cover human history from the earliest periods (Palaeolithic) to the modern day. It will consist of short encyclopaedia style entries by a team of multidisciplinary specialists All entries are peer reviewed. The Timeline will go live in June 2010.
The Timeline was conceived during the workshop ‘The Construction of the Sensible World' 'L'invention du sensible', which was supported by the Institut d'Études Avancées-Paris, with the collaboration of the Musée du Quai Branly, 3rd to 5th July 2009.
The premise of the Timeline is that the sensorium is an historical formation, an artefact, constructed in different ways in different times and places and hence traceable through its many transformations.
The Timeline's layered structure will allow searches by category. Hover over an entry to access its content.
The concept for the Timeline was developed in July 2009 during the workshop ‘The Construction of the Sensible World' (‘L'invention du sensible'), Institut d'Études Avancées-Paris (www.paris-iea.fr) and is supported by the Musée du Quai Branly.
