Integrating Sensory Methodologies in Environmental Anthropology
This chapter aims to present the strands of knowledge produced in anthropology since the sensorial turn, particularly regarding environmental inquiry. Firstly, the study provides an overview of the existing literature and traces how multisensorial synesthesia has steadily replaced earlier concerns with representation and the concept of sensory mediation. Secondly, the chapter explores the epistemological ties that have already emerged between sensory anthropology and environmental research, with the resulting methodological implications being critically ana lyzed. Thirdly, it advocates for a sensory perspective in ecological research on pastoralism, arguing that this approach produces not just additional knowledge but qualitatively different knowledge. What benefits arise from the attempt to approach the landscape as a synesthesia of various sensory acts that constitute it? What kind of quality do sensory approaches bring to the ethnography of pastoralism? And what does multispecies ethnography have to do with the entanglement of the sensory and the ecological? These specific questions are explored to articulate what conducting sensoryenvironmental research may mean. The chapter concludes by envisioning developments in the future.
