Résumé L'arôme de la marchandise La commercialisation de l'olfactif Cet article montre comment la relation qu'entretiennent les Nord-Américains avec leur corps se fait maintenant par l'entremise de divers articles de toilette (savon, déodorant, rince-bouche) qui offrent au consommateur une protection contre le rejet social en éliminant ou en supprimant les odeurs corporelles indésirables. Les auteurs y relatent la petite histoire du marketing de ces produits et présentent un échantillonnage des identités olfactives idéales qui s'offrent aujourd'hui au consommateur avide de parfums ou d'eaux de toilette.

In her recent study on the relationship between smell and morality, Sara Silva elaborates on how medical and cultural historians, as well as anthropologists and psychologists, have emphasized the key role olfaction plays across time and place, not only through rituals, or as a means of diagnosing disease, but also as a warning mechanism regarding threats, dangerous environments, and people [7][8][9][10][11]. She explains how shared, familiar smells encourage a sense of identity and security, at both individual and group levels, whereas the opposite leads to smelly feelings of distrust, avoidance, and fear. ...
