The sense of smell is vital for self-preservation, particularly in detecting potential threats. In the discourse of cultural heritage, the significance of odours is a research topic that is increasingly coming into focus. Odours determine the character of people, spaces, and places, but due to their ephemeral nature, they are more elusive and transitory than any cues or information resulting from vision or touch. Therefore, particular assessment methods, such as so-called smellscapes, will be required to analyse and assess them. Even if the cultural significance of odours is subjective and culturally determined and cannot be inherently charged with significance, their meaning is connected to individual or collective memory and identity. The meaning of odours is explored in places that vary in scale, from private homes to schools, subway stations, and urban quarters, and that can be found in different cities in and outside of Europe.}, language = {en} } @incollection{SkedzuhnSafir, author = {Skedzuhn-Safir, Alexandra}, title = {Making sense of scents}, series = {Scents of place : the significance of odours in the experience of heritage}, booktitle = {Scents of place : the significance of odours in the experience of heritage}, editor = {Skedzuhn-Safir, Alexandra}, publisher = {BTU Cottbus IKMZ-Universit{\"a}tsbibliothek}, address = {Cottbus ; Senftenberg}, isbn = {978-3-940471-79-6}, doi = {10.26127/BTUOpen-6815}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:co1-opus4-68154}, pages = {11 -- 28}, language = {en} }
