English | 264 pages | Penn State University Press; 1st edition (September 10, 2024) | 027109740X | PDF | 10 Mb

The longest political conflict of the twentieth century, the Cold War, was carried out on the human senses―and through them. Largely conducted through nonlethal methods, it was a war of competing cultures, politics, and covert operations. While propaganda reached targets through vision and hearing, sensory warfare also exploited taste, touch, smell, and pain. This volume is the first to explore the sensory aspect of the Cold War and how this warfare changed contemporary perception of the war.

The authors highlight the global dimension of sensory warfare, examining battlegrounds around the world and across different phases of the conflict, including “cold” and “hot” warfare―both covert and overt. Case studies highlight the role of taste in Western food deliveries to Eastern Europe; olfaction in Poland, at the Iron Curtain, and in the Vietnam War; sonic warfare in Berlin, in Romania, and at the China-Taiwan “aquatic frontier”; vision in the Maoist Cultural Revolution, Spain, and the Soviet-Afghan war; haptics in the German military; and drugs, pain, and sensory deprivation in intelligence operations in both Hungary and the United States. In its wide-ranging treatment, this volume offers an illuminating new perspective on the Cold War and deepens our understanding of the sensory aspects of current and future conflicts.

Sensory Warfare in the Global Cold War will be of interest to students and scholars of sensory studies, Cold War studies, twentieth-century history, and military history. In addition to the editor, the contributors to this volume include Cyril Cordoba, Mark Fenemore, Walter E. Grunden, Dayton Lekner, José Manuel López Torán, Markus Mirschel, Victoria Phillips, Carsten Richter, Andreea Deciu Ritivoi, Christy Spackman, and Stephanie Weismann.


二十世纪最持久的政治冲突——冷战,就是通过人类的感觉进行的——并由此展开。大部分采用非致命手段,它是一场文化和政治的竞争,以及秘密行动的战争。宣传通过视觉和听觉来影响目标,感官战争也利用了味觉、触觉、嗅觉和疼痛。本书是首次探索冷战中的感官方面,并揭示这种战争如何改变了人们对这场战争的认知。 作者强调了感官战争的全球性维度,在世界各地的不同冲突阶段探讨战场,包括“冷”战和“热”战——既有秘密行动,也有公开行动。案例研究展示了西方食物交付到东欧、波兰铁幕、越南战争中味觉的作用;波兰、铁幕地区和越战中的嗅觉作用;柏林、罗马尼亚和中国与台湾“水域前沿”中的声波战争;毛主义文化大革命、西班牙和苏联-阿富汗战争中的视觉作用;德国军队中的触觉作用;以及在匈牙利和美国情报操作中药物、疼痛和感官剥夺的作用。在这广泛的论述中,本书为冷战提供了一个新的视角,并加深了我们对当今及未来冲突中感官方面理解。 《全球冷战中的感官战争》将吸引感观研究、冷战研究、二十世纪史学以及军事史学的学生与学者的兴趣。除了主编之外,本卷的作者还包括Cyril Cordoba、Mark Fenemore、Walter E. Grunden、Dayton Lekner、José Manuel López Torán、 Markus Mirschel、Victoria Phillips、Carsten Richter、Andreea Deciu Ritivoi、Christy Spackman 和 Stephanie Weismann。
