Abstract

ABSTRACT Sensory ethnography is an emerging trend within visual anthropology, with practitioners focusing on at least two different aspects: the aesthetic‐sensual and the multisensory‐experiential. The former has found expression in some of the observational films of Robert Gardner and his intellectual progeny at the Harvard Sensory Ethnography Lab. The latter can be seen in the work of Sarah Pink, Paul Stoller, and David MacDougall.
