Qu'en pensez-vous ?Dans la collection Studies in Sensory History de l'University of Illinois Press dirigée par Mark M. Smith, pas très éloignée de la collection Sensory Formations (Berg) dirigée par D Howes, nous trouvons ces deux ouvrages :The Deepest Sense : a Cultural History of Touch. Constance Classen. University of Illinois Press, 2012, 256 p. ISBN : 978-0-252-07859-0. 25$Constance Classen explores a variety of tactile realms including the feel of the medieval city; the tactile appeal of relics; the social histories of pain, pleasure, and affection; the bonds of touch between humans and animals; the strenuous excitement of sports such as wrestling and jousting; and the sensuous attractions of consumer culture. She delves into a range of vital issues, from the uses--and prohibitions--of touch in social interaction to the disciplining of the body by the modern state, from the changing feel of the urban landscape to the technologization of touch in modernity.

MoreDans un autre registre, plus expérimental, Filiz Klassen a imaginé des enveloppes architecturales qui réagissent aux variations climatiques.&#160;Snow, rain, light, wind : weathering architecture Filiz Klassen. Toronto, Filiz Klassen, 2009. 1 vol. + 1 DVD. On peut trouver un article relatant ce travail sur le site de l'auteur. Il a été présenté à un congrès intitulé Ambience 2008 à Tempere !!!"Snow, Rain, Light, Wind : weathering architecture" explores the potential of textile-based materials as a hybrid art and architectural medium that can bring art, design, technology, and materials research together in built spaces. An architectural practice focusing on buildings that respond to environmental conditions can make us more aware of weather and help us re-examine our contributions to climate change.&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;
