(1/) My new book 'Smell and the Past: Noses, Archives, Narratives' isn't out in hardback until May but the open access ebook has now been published online! https://bloomsburycollections.com/book/smell-and-the-past-noses-archives-narratives/ so please download, share, and read! It's part of my work on
the Odeuropa project and its open access publication was funded by our EU Horizon 2020 grant. It's split into three parts, as the title suggests: noses, archives, narratives. #sensorystudies #sensoryhistory #smellhistory #smellstudies #bodyhist #envhist
Bloomsbury Collections - Smell and the Past - Noses, Archives, Narratives

‘What if researchers interested in ‘the past’ used their noses? This open access book makes the case for a more imaginatively interdisciplinary approach to sensory heritage and history, arguing that we can and should engage our noses as a research tool for articulating the past.’ Assessing how both we and our ancestors approach, understand and conceptualise smell, Tullett shows how archives can be ‘re-odorized’ to uncover narratives that are only implicit in or obscured by the historical record. From perfume libraries to organic compounds emitted by historical objects, this book acts as a guide for employing our olfactory senses when researching and studying history in order to understand and communicate the past more fully. Employing ‘olfactory figures’ examples, Smell and the Past shows how historical narratives and arguments can be found through a structured olfactory experience, and demonstrates how our understanding of the past and its relationship with the present

Hello fellow kids! I'm a #sensoryhistory #smellhistory #smellheritage #smellstudies scholar working on the past, present and future of smell. I used to just be an #earlymodern & #18thC historian but now I do interdisciplinary work on anything relating to smell from the 1600s to the future. I've got a book coming out early next year on why humanities and social science scholars need to stop (only) reading and start smelling #environmentalhumanities #environmentalhistory #medicalhumanities
