This course will introduce students to historical problems and approaches in studying the five senses: vision, touch, taste, smell and hearing. The chief aims of the course are to consider the role of the senses in history and to interrogate historians' emphasis on textual primary sources in the discipline. The seminar discussions will focus primarily on Europe before 1800, and will be based on readings of scholarly works in cultural history and the history of medicine, technology and the environment- with occasional forays into other geographical regions and historical periods. 100% internal assssment.
