This conference seeks to join the intellectual heritage of the salons with
their multidisciplinary, multisensory natures. We will explore the sights,
sounds, smells, tastes, and tactile aspects of the salon, considering the
arts and sensory pleasures of the salon alongside the verbal arts—the
poetry, literature, theater, and conversation—that were cultivated there.

Salons of the 17th, 18th, and early 19th centuries knew no disciplinary
boundaries. More than other institutions of the age, salons offered their
habitués opportunities to engage with a wide range of social, cultural,
artistic, literary, and verbal practices. A multidisciplinary approach
requires that we—like salon hostesses and guests before us—open our minds
across modern intellectual boundaries and reanimate the embodied practices
of the institution. By bringing together scholars from numerous fields, we
hope to shed new light on salons in all of their complexity. Above all, we
seek to understand the multi-sensory nature of the salon: its sights,
sounds, tastes, and smells; its conversations, texts, and subtexts.
