Losing Our Minds, Coming to Our Senses offers a diverse set of readings across periods, genres and forms throughout Persian literary history, demonstrating the value of sensory studies as an approach to Persian cultural production, literary, theatrical, or otherwise. The book’s chapters conceptualize sensory aesthetics in the context of Persian literature and suggest ways in which sensory studies can be used to reimagine and enrich existing approaches to Persian literature. In doing so, it also offers a new model for an approach to the study of Persian literary works through the larger field of sensory studies.
