Description

Explore the social impact of scent with Aroma: The Cultural History of Smell by Routledge. This book investigates how odours function as social phenomena, shaping class hierarchies, political structures, and cosmologies. While the sociology of smell is often repressed in the modern West, this work breaks the olfactory silence of modernity to examine how scents can unite or divide people. This text provides a comprehensive look at the cultural role of odours throughout Western history, spanning from antiquity to the present day. It examines how smells can empower or disempower individuals and enforce or transgress social structures. For students and readers interested in anthropology and sociology, this book offers a deep look into the historical and social significance of the sense of smell.
