»Kultur denken. Season 8 Episode 1: OLFAC with Silke Felber, Freda Fiala, Julia Ostwald

What does it mean to smell? What do odors enable us to sense, to know, to feel? How are perceptions, techniques, technologies, politics, and aesthetics of smell entangled with one another—and how might these relations be situated and theorized? At the heart of the symposium lies an exploration of the epistemic, affective, and political dimensions of olfaction— it asks what it means to think through smell. The OLFAC Symposium, held in December 2025 at the ifk in Vienna, was organized by Silke Felber, Freda Fiala, and Julia Ostwald as part of the ERC Consolidator Project OLFAC.
