The study of scents and all things olfactory is thriving, a sign of the great interest that our information-based society feels for a sense that seems to offer a direct and immediate experience of reality. But smells resist description and representation, especially given that they are closely linked to individual personal experience, and their perception has changed through time and space in a myriad of ways. This volume aims to contribute to the flourishing multidisciplinary exchanges around smells by examining the question of their mediality, focusing on the mechanisms by which the olfactory experience, as well as the scents themselves, circulate and are diffused, but also by exploring the modes of smell as a medium in itself. Drawing on a wide variety of approaches, cultural zones, and historical periods, this volume gathers the contributions of twenty-one researchers who specialize in this field in order to explore the multiple aspects of olfactory culture, which characterizes and shapes our relations to smells.

La richesse de lactualité en matière dodeurs et dodorat témoigne du vif intérêt de nos sociétés de linformation pour un sens qui semble offrir une saisie directe et immédiate du réel. Circulant de manière très variable à travers le temps et lespace, les odeurs font lobjet dune perception qui résiste dautant plus à la description et à la représentation quelle reste individuelle et liée à lhistoire personnelle. Ce volume vise à contribuer aux échanges interdisciplinaires sur lolfaction à travers la question de la médialité, en sinterrogeant sur les mécanismes par lesquels lexpérience olfactive et les odeurs sont transmises et diffusées, mais aussi en explorant les modalités de lodeur comme médium. Proposant une diversité dapproches, daires culturelles et de périodes, ce volume rassemble les contributions de vingt-et-un spécialistes qui étudient comment la culture olfactive caractérise et construit nos rapports aux odeurs.
