Unruly Interviews: Niko Angell-Garguilo

Hi everyone!

This week’s bonus episode is an interview with the Unruly Figures research assistant, Niko Angell-Gargiulo! She studies representations of smell in literature in the 19th century and is one of the hosts of the

Desperate Readers

podcast. We have a great conversation about what smell studies are, how poetry and perfumery intersect and feed on one another, and how the prestige of different scents might change as our world changes.

If you’re eager to learn more, here are a few resources Niko mentioned in the episode:

• The Foul and the Fragrant: Odor and the French Social Imagination, Alain Corbin

• Perfume on the Page in Nineteenth-Century France, Cheryl Krueger

• Olfactory Art Keller

• The Odeuropa Project
