What can an object the size of a plum reveal about the smellscapes of early modern Europe—and their gendered and racialized afterlives?
Tomorrow @fau.de, Silke will trace the pomander and discuss our #ERC project #OLFAC within the Sensory Lectures series — join via Zoom 👇 #olfactory #sensoryStudies
Pomander with musk ball, cross, and ring (apple of musk). Maker: Anonymous (Kulmbach?), mid-16th century. Museum of Applied Arts, Vienna.

Julia Ostwald is a postdoctoral researcher for #ERC #OLFAC. In her research, she explores entanglements of aesthetics, sensual perceptions, and (body-)politics, as well as stagings of #breath, air, and #smell in #dance and movement practices in history.

Freda Fiala is a cultural researcher whose work explores the entangled relations between Central Europe and East Asia. As a postdoctoral researcher in #ERC #OLFAC, her research focuses on how trans-cultural and trans-modern circuits shape identity and #sensory knowledges.

Silke Felber: "“Since I can remember, I have feverishly sought out situations and actors capable of making my senses reel. I long for moments when “those precious, experienced eyes” (to borrow Nabokov’s phrase) can no longer be trusted—when the intricate dance of my body’s tacit knowledge falters under the sudden intrusion of reason. I thirst for the fleeting illusion of movement conjured by a passing train, as though I myself were in motion; for objects whose misjudged weight sends my torso lurching upward in eerie haste. But what happens when the nose, too, is drawn into these moments of faltering? And might such stumblings unsettle the ingrained habits that our bodies, through years of socialization, have so deeply internalized?“ OLFAC

Gestank als Waffe, Duft als Potenzmittel! Silke Felber im Interview mit @diepressecom.bsky.social über #Geruchsforschung und der Macht des Olfaktorischen!
#OLFAC #sensorystudies #olfactory #skunkwater
Pfui oder hui? Gestank als Waffe, Duft als Potenzmittel
Forscherinnen der Kunstuni Linz wollen Europas olfaktorisches Wissen rehabilitieren – und unser aller Nasen für die guten wie schlechten Gerüche, die uns umgeben, wieder schärfen.

We look forward to sharing methods, results, and events — and to connecting with researchers and artists working with and on the senses.

OLFAC explores how olfactory techniques and technologies are mobilised – in both artistic practice and through mechanisms of governance. By developing a theory of olfactory performativity, OLFAC opens new perspectives on sensory experience.
