Notes
1 David Howes defines the ‘sensual turn’ and coins the term in his influential book Sensual Relations (2003: 29, 235–36), and again in the inaugural issue of Sense and Society (Howes, 2006: 114–15). In that issue, the editors refer to the ‘emergent field of sensory studies’.
2 Keith Tester acknowledged that ‘flânerie might be about more than just looking’ (18) in the introduction to his influential edited volume The Flâneur (1994).
3 The sensual turn may be shaping social sciences in France as well, as Le Breton (2000), Thomas (2007), and Nuvolati (2009) suggest.
4 For more on the sensual wealth of the Grands Boulevards, see Hahn, 2006 and 2009.
5 ‘Flânerie was therefore always as much mythic as it was actual’, wrote Rob Shields (in Tester, 1994: 62).
6 I thank Pauline de Tholozany for drawing my attention to this ambiguity in Balzacian type.
