This book presents a critical analysis of sense-making practices through an exploration of acoustic, creative, and artistic spaces. It studies how local cultures of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch are impacted by global discourses and media, such as television, popular music, digital media, and literature. The authors look at sense-making practices and spatial discourses through an interconnected discussion on thought and experience that seeks to present a multidimensional cartography of the global, the local, and the glocal, to closely analyze the phenomenon of globalization. The volume is an investigation of the possibilities of alternate, sustainable modes of being and existing in a world which requires a unified, ethical, biopolitical worldview that challenges the disparity of its fragments while speculating on their synesthetic conditionality.A unique contribution, the book will be of interest to scholars and researchers of English literature, media studies, cultural studies, literary cultures, post-colonial studies, globalization studies, philosophy, critical theory, sociology, and social anthropology.

"The essays in this volume embody a variety of phenomenological approaches in exploring different sensory environments and social spaces while being sensitive to questions of cultural difference. A unique and significant contribution to the literature on sense-making."Dipesh Chakrabarty"This timely collection of essays marks a deepening of the global dialogue on the way in which sensory regimes mediate experiential specifics and shape the ways through which forms of the body and the body of forms co-produce one another. The range of examples in this collection is an eloquent reminder of the endless variety of human phenomenological archives."Arjun Appadurai
