Sensuous Scholarship

This text attempts to reawaken the scholar's body by demonstrating how the fusion of the intellect and the sensible can be applied to scholarly practices and representations. Discusses how taste and sound constitute important aspects of the epistemology of Songhay-speaking peoples in West Africa, how memory and history are embodied phenomena, and how sensuous scholarship is transformed into text and image.
