Les stéréotypes sur les fans sont encombrés de jugements négatifs : ils seraient victimes d’une pathologie des sociétés de masse. Bien loin des images héritées de Beatlemania, la rencontre avec les fans d’aujourd’hui fait découvrir un monde passionnant et sensible.
In this comprehensive and engaging volume, medical historian Jonathan Reinarz offers a historiography of smell from ancient to modern times. Synthesizing existing scholarship in the field, he shows how people have relied on their olfactory sense to understand and engage with both their immediate environments and wider corporal and spiritual worlds. This broad survey demonstrates how each community or commodity possesses, or has been thought to possess, its own peculiar scent.
