This special issue seeks to introduce the cultural history of the senses in the Islamic world to a broad audience of scholars in the Humanities and Social Sciences. While there has been a groundswell of historical scholarship on the senses in the west (see Classen 2014), much remains to be done for the “sensual turn” (Howes 2003, 29) to leave more than just a passing mark in the study of Islamic history and culture. Contributors to this special issue examine how the senses have been conceptualized, and calibrated, in a variety of Muslim environments, ca. 600 to 1900 CE. How can we conceive of the Muslim sensorium over the long course of Islamic history and across Islam’s wide geographical compass? In fact, is there such a thing as a Muslim sensorium? If yes, what are its main features, how was it theorized by Muslim thinkers, and what were its salient historical manifestations? These questions are important and timely on several, interrelated counts. In scholarly discourse, the history of the senses is closely entangled with that of Western-style modernity, while Islam’s compatibility (and indeed, the desirability of aligning Islam) with modern Western ideas and institutions is a perennial subject of discussion. Controversially, Marshall McLuhan (1962) and Walter Ong (1982) linked the European enlightenment to the primacy bestowed on the eye over the other sense organs. They also theorized that, by contrast, African and Oriental societies privilege the ear, as well as the other nonvisual senses. From this vantage, Islam’s supposed denigration of vision is seen to undermine the ability of Muslim peoples to modernize. However, this sweeping narrative, influential though it may be, does not stand the test of even a cursory examination of the evidence. The Qurʾān clearly elevates sight above hearing; Plato’s and Aristotle’s notion of a hierarchy of the senses, in which sight is preeminent, was wellknown in classical Islam; and the Iraqi-Egyptian physicist Ibn al-Haytham (Alhazen, d. 1040 CE) analyzed the mechanics of vision so successfully that he is counted, to this day, among the fathers of modern optics. In other words, the ratio of the senses in Islamic culture (a contested singular), and the relationship between the two distal senses in particular, is by no means evident; a more nuanced and balanced account is long overdue. A related issue is that disembodied Western rationalism is often contrasted, by both its defenders and its detractors, with an alleged Muslim celebration of the senses – an imaginary dichotomy that recalls stereotyped characterizations of “sensual” Catholics as Protestantism’s Other. This finds expression in enduring stereotypes about an indulgent Orient full of colors, smells, and tactile sensations. While the proximal senses, smell in particular, carry a stigma in modern Western culture, Islamic culture supposedly emphasizes them. Not only do such characterizations facilitate caricatures of Muslims as irrational
本期特刊旨在向广大人文和社会科学学者介绍伊斯兰世界感官的文化史。虽然在西方有一场关于感官的历史学术热潮(见Classen 2014),但“感官转向”(Howes 2003, 29)在伊斯兰历史和文化研究中留下的不仅仅是一个及格分数,还有很多工作要做。本期特刊的撰稿人研究了在公元600年至1900年的各种穆斯林环境中,感官是如何被概念化和校准的。我们怎样才能在伊斯兰历史的漫长历程中,在伊斯兰广阔的地理范围内,想象出穆斯林的感官呢?事实上,真的有所谓的穆斯林感官吗?如果是,它的主要特征是什么?穆斯林思想家是如何将其理论化的?它在历史上的突出表现是什么?这些问题在几个相互关联的方面是重要和及时的。在学术论述中,感官的历史与西方式现代性的历史紧密地纠缠在一起,而伊斯兰教与现代西方思想和制度的兼容性(实际上,与伊斯兰教结盟的可取性)是一个永恒的讨论主题。有争议的是,马歇尔·麦克卢汉(1962)和沃尔特·翁(1982)将欧洲启蒙运动与赋予眼睛高于其他感觉器官的首要地位联系起来。他们还推断,相比之下,非洲和东方社会更重视耳朵以及其他非视觉感官。从这个角度来看,伊斯兰教所谓的对远见的诋毁被视为削弱了穆斯林民族现代化的能力。然而,这种概括性的叙述,尽管可能很有影响力,但即使是对证据的粗略审查,也经不起考验。《古兰经》ān显然把视觉置于听觉之上;柏拉图和亚里士多德关于感官等级的观念,其中视觉是最重要的,在古典伊斯兰教中是众所周知的;伊拉克-埃及裔物理学家伊本·海瑟姆(生于公元1040年)成功地分析了视觉的机制,因此直到今天,他仍被认为是现代光学之父之一。换句话说,伊斯兰文化中感官的比例(一个有争议的单数),尤其是两种远端感官之间的关系,绝不是显而易见的;一个更细致、更平衡的解释早就应该出现了。一个相关的问题是,西方理性主义的捍卫者和批评者经常将其与所谓的穆斯林对感官的庆祝进行对比——这是一种虚构的二分法,让人想起将“感性的”天主教徒刻板地描述为新教的他者。这在人们对一个充满色彩、气味和触觉的放纵的东方的刻板印象中得到了体现。虽然近端感觉,尤其是嗅觉,在现代西方文化中被认为是一种耻辱,但伊斯兰文化理应强调它们。这样的描述不仅助长了对穆斯林非理性的讽刺

“I tasted sweetness, and I tasted affliction”: pleasure, pain, and body in medieval Sufi food practices “我尝到了甜蜜,也尝到了痛苦”:中世纪苏菲饮食实践中的快乐、痛苦和身体

ABSTRACT Attitudes toward food and eating are an often-neglected area of Sufi thought and practice. In this article, I analyze medieval Sufi food practices as a mode of piety. In doing so I focus on distinctions between pleasure and pain brought on by food consumption and abstention, and the gestures that accompany these experiences. By focusing on Sufism from the 11th-13th centuries CE, this article traces Sufi approaches to food through theoretical, practical, and hagiographical texts over time. I first detail the interconnection between the body and mystical experience in Sufi theory, before moving on to a discussion of more practical approaches to food consumption. I then consider Sufi narratives involving food and its connection to sex and gender before turning to questions of food habits and belonging. In doing so I intend to highlight how Sufi food practices played a significant role in embedding pious bodily habits within Sufi communities.
对食物和饮食的态度是苏菲思想和实践中一个经常被忽视的领域。在这篇文章中,我分析了中世纪苏菲饮食实践作为虔诚的一种模式。在此过程中,我关注的是由食物消耗和节制带来的快乐和痛苦之间的区别,以及伴随这些经历的手势。通过关注公元11 -13世纪的苏菲派,这篇文章追溯了苏菲派的饮食方法,包括理论、实践和传世文献。我首先详细介绍了苏菲理论中身体和神秘体验之间的联系,然后再讨论更实际的食物消费方法。然后,在转向饮食习惯和归属感的问题之前,我考虑了苏菲关于食物及其与性和性别的联系的叙述。在这样做的过程中,我打算强调苏菲饮食实践如何在苏菲社区中嵌入虔诚的身体习惯方面发挥了重要作用。

“You were not commanded to stroke it, but to pray nearby it”: debating touch within early Islamic pilgrimage “你没有被命令抚摸它,而是在它附近祈祷”:早期伊斯兰朝圣中关于触摸的争论

ABSTRACT Early Islamic texts record a series of ongoing debates about a fundamental component of ritual performance: the act of touch. During the hajj, Muslim pilgrims participated in intensively haptic devotional activity in the holy city of Mecca, where they thronged to grasp objects and places associated with Islamic history and worship. Such rituals were carried out, and approved of, by many early Muslims, who considered these as important acts in the performance of Islamic identity. Yet in narrative histories and juristic discussions about the appropriate ways of interacting with and “sensing” pilgrimage places, many Muslim voices note the perceivably idolatrous connotations of touching objects and spaces. They often associate such haptic encounters with religiously marginalized others, including pagans, women, and sectarian groups. Bringing these sources into conversation with scholarship on ritual constructions of religious identity – and on the role therein of the senses – this article highlights the disputed role of touch in demarcating correctly Islamic pilgrimage practices, and thus the contested place of touch in the emergent Islamic sensorium.
早期伊斯兰文本记录了一系列关于仪式表演的基本组成部分:触摸行为的持续争论。在朝觐期间,穆斯林朝圣者在圣城麦加参加了密集的触觉祈祷活动,他们聚集在那里抓住与伊斯兰历史和礼拜有关的物品和场所。这些仪式是由许多早期的穆斯林进行并认可的,他们认为这些是表现伊斯兰身份的重要行为。然而,在关于与朝圣地点互动和“感知”的适当方式的叙事历史和法律讨论中,许多穆斯林的声音注意到触摸物体和空间的可感知的偶像崇拜内涵。他们经常将这种触觉接触与宗教边缘化的其他人联系在一起,包括异教徒、妇女和宗派团体。将这些来源与宗教身份的仪式结构以及感官在其中的作用的学术讨论结合起来,本文强调了触摸在正确划分伊斯兰朝圣实践中的有争议的作用,从而强调了触摸在新兴的伊斯兰感官中有争议的地位。

No hearing without signals: imagining and reimagining transductions through the history of the cochlear implant 无信号无听力:通过人工耳蜗的历史想象和重新想象转导

ABSTRACT In this article, we explore a set of conceptual and technoscientific shifts that led to reconsiderations of the experience of hearing over the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and most specifically, hearing through the use of cochlear implants (CIs). In doing so, we focus on the factors that are thought to contribute to CI users’ experiences of sound, including their potentially distinctive sensoria and neural profiles, as they navigate the spaces of their day-to-day lives as both the bearers of objective audiograms and subjective listeners. These factors are increasingly broad, ranging from age of implantation, electroacoustic stimulation sent from the device, and cognitive profiles considered to correlate with complex developmental processes related to early sound environments and language exposure (oral or manual). Hearing, in this perspective, is a phenomenon that varies between individuals, over the course of the life (or day) of a single person, and according to experiences with auditory devices. Such a conceptualization undermines dichotomous representations of hearing and deafness and an increasingly substantial gray zone emerges between the two. Both are ever more conceived of as developmental processes in which a variety of signals and their transductions are considered central to understandings of how experiences of hearing take shape.
在这篇文章中,我们探讨了一系列概念和技术科学的转变,这些转变导致了对20世纪和21世纪听力体验的重新思考,最具体的是,通过使用人工耳蜗(CIs)进行听力。在此过程中,我们将重点关注那些被认为有助于CI用户声音体验的因素,包括他们潜在的独特感觉器官和神经剖面,因为他们在日常生活中既是客观听音图的承担者,也是主观听者。这些因素越来越广泛,包括植入年龄,设备发出的电声刺激,以及被认为与早期声音环境和语言暴露(口头或手动)相关的复杂发育过程相关的认知特征。从这个角度来看,听力是一种因人而异的现象,在一个人的一生(或一天)中,根据听觉设备的经验而有所不同。这种概念化破坏了听力和耳聋的二分法,在两者之间出现了越来越多的灰色地带。两者都被认为是一个发展过程,在这个过程中,各种信号及其转导被认为是理解听觉体验如何形成的核心。

Smells, intimate labor and domestic work in Delhi, India 气味,亲密劳动和家务劳动在印度德里
Pub Date : 2021-09-02 DOI: 10.1080/17458927.2021.1981927

ABSTRACT This article stems from an ongoing collaborative ethnographic project with a Delhi-based women workers’ union known as Shehri Mahila Kamgar Union. Since 2015 I have been studying how domestic workers view the relationship between the senses and work. The main objective is to understand how the “senses” in general and smell in particular have been invisibilised in discussions on “intimate labor.” While analyses of the sensory labor and synesthetic reason involved in craftwork and food preparation celebrate sensoriality, the location of smells in intimate labor, especially domestic work, has been occulted. I propose the term “intimate sense-labor” to foreground the study of the acts of erasure of smells that are central to the sensory practice of domestic workers. Intimate sense-labor consists of strictly disciplining the senses and controlling sensory emanations while reproducing the intimate smells of a household through acts of cleaning, washing, and cooking. Building upon everyday work narratives of domestic workers, I expose the workings of “intimate sense-labor” through an examination of the smells of happiness, fear, and disgust.
本文源于一个正在进行的民族志合作项目,该项目与位于德里的Shehri Mahila Kamgar工会合作。自2015年以来,我一直在研究家政工人如何看待感官与工作之间的关系。主要目的是了解一般的“感觉”,特别是嗅觉是如何在“亲密劳动”的讨论中被忽视的。虽然对工艺和食物准备中涉及的感官劳动和联觉原因的分析颂扬了感官性,但气味在亲密劳动,特别是家务劳动中的位置却被掩盖了。我提出“亲密的感官劳动”一词,以突出对消除气味行为的研究,这是家庭工人感官实践的核心。亲密的感官劳动包括严格训练感官和控制感官散发,同时通过清洁、洗涤和烹饪等行为再现家庭的亲密气味。以家政工人的日常工作叙述为基础,我通过对快乐、恐惧和厌恶的气味的研究,揭示了“亲密感官劳动”的运作。

A matter of taste? On the significance of aesthetic judgement for morality 品味问题?论审美对道德的意义
Pub Date : 2021-09-02 DOI: 10.1080/17458927.2021.1874145
G. Böhme
ABSTRACT It is clear that in everyday life, people and behavior patterns are frequently, or perhaps almost always, judged not in terms of good or bad, but with terms that belong more to the aesthetic, like appropriate and inappropriate. This means that in a situation where you would tend to expect moral judgement and moral behavior, it is in fact much more a question of style and, at best, self-respect that plays a role, not morality. As a result, the desired behavior is achieved more easily and more confidently. These observations might seem to undermine Kant’s account of the categorical imperative, but Kant, unlike Kierkegaard, for example, did not advocate a strict separation between ethics and aesthetics. Rather, as I demonstrate here, he showed an ethical interest in the formation of aesthetic taste. This disclosure is followed by a series of further reflections in moral philosophy that, among other things, take up Hegel’s distinction between the Customary and the Moral, and Foucault. By offering this new reading of Kant’s Critique of Judgement, my aim is to show that there are areas of ethics that are a matter of taste, and these are by far the most common.
很明显,在日常生活中,人们和行为模式经常,或者几乎总是,不是用好或坏来评判,而是用更属于美学的术语,比如合适和不合适。这意味着,在你倾向于期望道德判断和道德行为的情况下,实际上更多的是风格问题,充其量是自尊起作用,而不是道德。结果,期望的行为更容易和更自信地实现。这些观察似乎削弱了康德对绝对命令的描述,但康德不像克尔凯郭尔,例如,他并不主张在伦理学和美学之间严格分离。相反,正如我在这里所展示的,他对审美趣味的形成表现出一种伦理兴趣。这一揭示之后是道德哲学的一系列进一步反思,其中包括黑格尔对习惯和道德的区分,以及福柯。通过提供对康德《判断力批判》的这种新解读,我的目的是表明,伦理学的某些领域是一种品味问题,而这些是迄今为止最常见的。

By offering this new reading of Kant’s Critique of Judgement, my aim is to show that there are areas of ethics that are a matter of taste, and these are by far the most common.","PeriodicalId":75188,"journal":{"name":"The senses and society","volume":"13 1","pages":"351 - 355"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73880519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

touch. The Language of Touch contains an incredibly rich (but certainly not easily accessible) conceptualization of Jacques Lacan’s psychoanalytical works; Aristotle, Heidegger, or Derrida’s philosophies; and the structural linguistics of Saussure and Jacobson. Therefore, this range of reference will pose challenges to readers with varying academic training. An alternative route of reading could be suggested for readers with less grounding in some of these disciplines: After reading the introductory theoretical chapter, a temporal jump to the second part of the book (containing the case studies) would enable readers to grasp the theoretical problems explained through specific examples prior to reading the rest of the early theoretical chapters. To conclude the review, the significant outcome of the book ́s reading is twofold. Firstly, classical Lacan linguistics is radically reconceptualized as the gaze and the voices as the sources of desire are challenged by the rethinking of touch. Secondly, the collection brings even broader contribution to haptic studies by opening the position of touch as not only a culturally/linguistically molded sensual modality but as something more constitutively connected to it by pressing the question of “how touch structure language.” Through this book, touch creatively pushes back on cultural and linguistical conceptualizations of touch as it opens innovative and unforeseeable ways to challenge them.
联系。《接触的语言》包含了雅克·拉康精神分析作品的一个极其丰富的概念化(但肯定不容易理解);亚里士多德,海德格尔或德里达的哲学;以及索绪尔和雅各布森的结构语言学。因此,这一参考范围将对具有不同学术训练的读者构成挑战。对于那些在这些学科中缺乏基础知识的读者,可以建议另一种阅读方式:在阅读了介绍性的理论章节之后,暂时跳转到书的第二部分(包含案例研究),这将使读者能够在阅读其余的早期理论章节之前,通过具体的例子来掌握理论问题。综上所述,阅读这本书的重要成果是双重的。首先,古典拉康语言学被彻底地重新概念化,因为凝视和声音作为欲望的来源受到触摸的重新思考的挑战。其次,该系列为触觉研究带来了更广泛的贡献,它打开了触摸的位置,不仅是一种文化/语言塑造的感官形态,而且通过提出“触摸如何结构语言”的问题,将其作为一种更基本的东西与之联系起来。通过这本书,触摸创造性地推翻了文化和语言上的触摸概念,因为它开辟了创新和不可预见的方式来挑战它们。
