ARCHIVE - Evolving Communication - Week VIII http://www2.evergreen.edu/evolvingcommunication/taxonomy/term/22/0 For the first of two seminar papers on The Emperor of Scent, we want you to do something different. Find three objects that have some noticeable smell, put each in a separate brown paper bag, smell each in turn, and describe what you smell. Try not to describe what you know is there--describe, as Turin does, what "notes" you discern, what flavors, what adjectives are evoked for you by the smell. Now, take those same bags to three other people and, without letting them know what is inside, ask them to do the same. Make a table of your results (three smells, four smellers: how did each smeller describe each smell?). Write one paragraph evaluating your results, being sure to refer to the text in your analysis. en
