of scientific knowledge production

production
__Fieldwork as sensory experience
__Devisualisation as cultural trends: „new multimediality”
__Cultural hierarchies of the senses: ruling, posessing senses, creation of hierarchies of the
senses
__Cultural practices of sensualizing social reality: managing of the perception
__Processes and forms of extravisual objects creation
