ABSTRACT:Sensory anthropology has quickly become a dynamic and expansive field of contemporary scholarship, with ethnographers increasingly interested in diverse sensory cosmologies as indicative of a "sensory turn" in anthropology. However, there has also been a tendency for these scholars to work in a linguistic silo, and overlook the potential contributions of local knowledge and scholarship. In this article, we begin to address this gap by bringing Japanese and English language scholarship on the senses in Japan into conversation to interrogate linguistic and cultural divides. Critical examination of these intertwined academic traditions not only provides new intellectual resources, it challenges assumed categories of analysis and deepens our understanding of cultural sensory formations.

日本和日本的感官人类学研究

摘要：感官人类学已迅速成为当代学术中一个充满活力和广阔的领域，民族志学家对多样化的感官宇宙学越来越感兴趣，这表明人类学的“感官转向”。然而，这些学者也倾向于在语言筒仓中工作，而忽视了当地知识和学术的潜在贡献。在本文中，我们开始通过将日语和英语关于日本感官的学术研究带入对话以询问语言和文化差异来解决这一差距。对这些相互交织的学术传统的批判性考察不仅提供了新的知识资源，还挑战了假设的分析类别并加深了我们对文化感官形态的理解。
