Cultural Heritage and Mobility from a Multisensory Perspective bridges the gap between cultural heritage and mobility studies through the employment of theoretical and methodological multisensory perspectives.An interdisciplinary volume covering a broad range of empirical cases, this book focuses on the engagement with cultural heritage in the context of mobility. The book presents a grassroots perspective of individual heritage performances by mobile and moving actors, analyzing them with close attention to their embodied aspects: bodily experiences, sensory impressions, and the affect and emotions they evoke. As a result, the collection of case studies presented covers empirical, theoretical, and methodological accounts of the embodiment of heritage in the context of mobility on macro, meso, and micro levels, exploring heritage change and mobility from a multisensory perspective. Cultural Heritage and Mobility from a Multisensory Perspective is primarily targeted at scholars, students and practitioners working within and at the intersection of the fields of cultural heritage and mobility. It will also be of interest to those engaged in the study of tourism, migration and integration studies.Chapters 2, 3, 4, 5, 13, 14 and Introduction of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

Multisensory Approaches in Migration Studies rethinks how we understand human mobility by placing the sensing, feeling body at the centre of migration research. Challenging decades of scholarship dominated by textual and state-centred perspectives, this volume reveals how people's multisensory experiences, including smell, touch, sound, and taste, shape migrants' journeys and lives as profoundly as borders, policies, and places do.Drawing on developments of the ‘sensory turn’ across anthropology, geography, and sociology, the book demonstrates how embodied memories, sensorial encounters, and everyday multisensory practices can uncover new dimensions of displacement, belonging, and transnational life. The contributors explore diverse contexts from forests at the EU's eastern frontier to migrant kitchens, urban streets, digital platforms, and cross-border commutes. This collection illustrates how sensory approaches mediate both the intimate, lived textures of migration and the structural forces that impact migrating people. By reconnecting the body to space, time, and movement, it offers an innovative lens for scholars, students, and practitioners seeking to understand migration beyond conventional frameworks.The book is essential reading for migration researchers, anthropologists, geographers, and anyone interested in embodied approaches to understanding human mobility in contemporary society. This book was originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies.

This open access book explores the use of visual methods in migration studies through a combination of theoretical analyses and empirical studies.
