      abstract = {That which we consider to be real we call knowledge. As a  rule, we consider what our five senses convey to us to be  real. Our perception and what we consider real and  construct as socially effective differs depending on which  senses we focus on and how intensively. The connection  between reality constructions and sensory conditions has  received little attention in social research so far. This  concerns, for example, the use of our sensory organs for  empirical reconstructions of bodies of knowledge, sensory  perceptions as part of bodies of knowledge, or the question  of how far knowledge is dependent on sensory abilities.  This anthology attempts to close this gap by focusing on  the social significance of sensory perceptions and  discussing it using the example of various objects of  investigation. The publishers Paul Eisewicht is a  postdoctoral researcher at the Faculty of Social Sciences  at the Technical University of Dortmund. Ronald Hitzler was  Professor of General Sociology at the Technical University  of Dortmund until 2017. Lisa Schfer is a research assistant  at the Institute of Sociology at the Open University of  Hagen. This book is a translation of an original German  edition. The translation was done with the help of  artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service  DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily  in terms of content, so that the book will read  stylistically differently from a conventional translation.},
