«The Life of the Senses» is the anthropology essay by François Laplantine, published by Bloomsbury Academic in paperback (152 pages, in English).
Laplantine draws on his fieldwork in Brazil and Japan and on philosophical, literary and cinematic sources to propose a modal anthropology attentive to tonalities and rhythmic intensities of life. He argues that meaning, sensation and sociality are inseparable and advocates a politics of the sensible.
Translated into English by Jamie Furniss, the book is part of the Sensory Studies series and includes an introduction by David Howes. The French original is «Le social et le sensible».
For readers of philosophy and social sciences interested in sensory studies and the role of the senses in social life.
