 ology-anthropology/people/faculty/cristina-moretti.html">Dr. Cristina Moret
 ti</a> is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthrop
 ology at Simon Fraser University. She is a sensory and urban anthropologist
  interested in how people inhabit\, narrate\, theorize\, and co-imagine cit
 y spaces. Her work in Vancouver\, researches urban changes\, and how sensor
 y anthropology can attend to different ways of knowing in place and help re
 think some of the paradoxes and debates that animate city transformations.<
 /p><p><strong>Abstract: </strong>What can sensory anthropology bring to the
  study of cities? During my fieldwork in Milan (Italy) and in Vancouver\, m
 y mentors and guides invited me to listen to absent sounds\, to tell time w
 ith textures\, and to flow alongside urban waterways and their swirling soc
 iality. At times\, these multisensorial engagements expressed their belongi
 ng to the city\, at other times their sense of precarity and displacement. 
 Following their insights\, I argue that an attention to the senses goes bey
 ond providing a more comprehensive description of urban environments. My in
 terlocutors’ practices of learning\, observing\, and questioning urban spac
 es and processes are also ways of enlisting and thinking with the anticipat
 ed\, the incommensurable\, and the surprising\, and to trace their liveline
 ss in complex urban transformations. During my research\, the particularity
  of their sensorium also complicated my own observation methods\, and quest
 ioned the way I thought about time\, social relations\, and different exper
 iences of inhabiting the city. Listening to their stories of sensing and th
 eir sensed storytelling then helped me to privilege their theoretical and m
 ethodological interventions\, critical questions\, and enacted knowledges\,
  and to notice some of the paradoxes that animate city life.</p><p><strong>
