Ethnological sensations

This portal serves as a resource for teachers, students, and scholars of ethnology, folklore, and related fields - Sensation Station. The films are categorized by theme (from "Body, senses, emotions" to "Rituals and feasts", from "Fieldwork" to "Museums and archives", and from "Houses and homes" to "Migration and mobility", to name just a few). Take a look, try playing with it, and invite your students to do the same (it works on your smartphone too). View this resource.
