![]() ![]() Concerning olfaction, this thesis will aim at building a bodiliness and understanding of a sense that today is mostly associated with subjective experiences and hedonistic means of production such as perfume and functional scenting. Redeeming this neglect, notions such as bodiliness or the embodied mind will come into play, separating from rational thinking of discourse and text in favor of a holistic and non-binary conception of body and intellect, marrying these two instances as intricately connected and interdependent of each other and serving as a deep reaching critique of the adamant paradigms of ›culture as text‹. What will lie at core here, is the premise of non-visual sensations as presences and the bodily constitution of humans having been neglected by an academic discourse favoring abstract cognition and rigid language. This thesis will concern itself with the sensate body and with that, the sense of smell as the sense that is the most ephemeral and most elusive towards being expressed through language.
