ABSTRACT This paper explores how the consideration of sensory embodied practice offers a route to unraveling subtle and nuanced placemaking practices of multicultural communities, revealing the physical, cultural and social interplay of everyday interactions. While a sensorial epistemological approach has been a relatively recent development in the humanities and social sciences, the ‘body’ has been theorised extensively. Even so, this has been of a generic body that is typically white, male and middle class. The embodied practices I present here affirm that bodies are social, sensorial and multiplicitous. Drawing from fieldwork in the multicultural Melbourne suburb of Footscray, I discuss the socio-sensory, through two types of sociality encountered on site; firstly, around economic activities, and the other around small groups of individuals, appearing unplanned and leisurely. I discuss the significance of these embodied acts in defining identity and validating presence in the urban landscape, demonstrating the sensescapes they create, informed by culturally specific sensory orders carry the potential to challenge – permeating and confronting, implicitly providing a means of expression and dissonance. I argue, consideration of the socio-sensory dimension provides an alternative framework of analysis that expands vocabulary and recalibrates sensibilities, providing insight into other ways of making and occupying space.

社会感官实践及其对同一性、多样性和不和谐的潜力

摘要 本文探讨了对感官具身实践的考虑如何为解开多元文化社区微妙而微妙的场所营造实践提供了一条途径，揭示了日常互动的物理、文化和社会相互作用。虽然感官认识论方法是人文科学和社会科学中相对较新的发展，但“身体”已被广泛地理论化。即便如此，这也是一个普通的身体，通常是白人、男性和中产阶级。我在此展示的具身实践肯定了身体是社会性的、感官性的和多样性的。我从墨尔本多元文化郊区 Footscray 的田野调查中汲取经验，通过现场遇到的两种社交方式来讨论社会感官；一是围绕经济活动，二是围绕小团体，显得无计划而悠闲。我讨论了这些具身行为在定义身份和验证城市景观中的存在方面的重要性，展示了它们创造的感官景观，以文化特定的感官秩序为基础，具有挑战的潜力——渗透和对抗，隐含地提供了一种表达和不和谐的方式。我认为，对社会感官维度的考虑提供了一种替代的分析框架，可以扩大词汇量并重新调整敏感性，提供对其他制造和占用空间方式的洞察力。由特定文化的感官命令所告知，具有挑战的潜力——渗透和对抗，隐含地提供了一种表达和不和谐的方式。我认为，对社会感官维度的考虑提供了一种替代的分析框架，可以扩大词汇量并重新调整敏感性，提供对其他制造和占用空间方式的洞察力。由特定文化的感官命令所告知，具有挑战的潜力——渗透和对抗，隐含地提供了一种表达和不和谐的方式。我认为，对社会感官维度的考虑提供了一种替代的分析框架，可以扩大词汇量并重新调整敏感性，提供对其他制造和占用空间方式的洞察力。
