COVID-19, Anosmia, and the Importance of Smell

Hannah Gould and Gwyn McClelland, editors of Aromas of Asia, discuss anosmia as it relates to the COVID-19 pandemic, the tricky nature of olfaction, and where the phenomenon of smell as transnational exchange began.

Of the many serious, and still emerging, impacts of infection with COVID-19, anosmia, or a loss of the sense of smell, is less often discussed. Yet the condition is said to affect almost half of all diagnosed patients, and although most people regain olfaction within a month, for some, anosmia lingers, transforming how they eat, drink, and interact with the world. People may also experience a condition of paranosmia, or phantom, and often unpleasant, smells.

In the introduction to our new interdisciplinary edited collection, Aromas of Asia: Exchanges, Histories, Threats, we discuss how this phenomenon speaks to the tricky nature of olfaction: its profound impact in shaping one’s everyday experience of the world and the popular dismissal of its significance. For, perhaps it is only in losing a sense that we are troubled and thus realise its significance. Anosmia is a condition that demonstrates how smell (or its lack) moves between bodies and traverses scales, as an intimate, personal experience of the world created by the transnational movement of pathogens within a global pandemic.

Smell is thus a particularly generative phenomenon to draw upon when theorizing the dynamics of transnational exchange. And this particular transnational exchange of the pandemic, of course, began in Asia.

Western cultural hierarchies and intellectual traditions have tended to elevate the importance of vision, or hearing, while marginalizing senses including smell, taste, or touch. With a few notable exceptions, contemporary scholarship still remains strongly wedded to English-language or Western scholarly concerns and contexts.

Our new collection of essays relocates the discussion of olfaction to the Asian region, considering how the mobility of olfaction makes social worlds, identifies prejudices or threats, and implements power games of scent and odor. Wherever smell is interpreted as threat, and has potential to be used to violently enforce differences in ethnicity, gender, caste, and class, questions of smell can have serious implications.

We were concerned in this work to critique sensory colonialist tropes that align Asia and its peoples with more “debased” senses, thus resisting a dichotomy of “West-vision-logic” and “Asia-smell-emotion.” Where associated with smell, Asian peoples and cultures have been historically cast in two extremes: on the one hand heavily perfumed or “stinky,” and on the other overly sanitized, odorless or antiseptic. While examining and critiquing these sensory stereotypes, our collection engages with Asia as a heterogeneous and changing complex of scentscapes that have blended together and come apart throughout history. The boundaries of this region are not presumed to exist before olfaction but rather emerge through histories of sensory exchange.

Our contributors consider periods from antiquity to the present and examine various transnational contexts across East, Southeast, and South Asian regions. We do not claim the spread as representative or exhaustive, but the chapters provide a robust cross section of the “scentscapes” that traverse the region. Thus, incisive essays and careful research was essential to achieve the methodological richness and conversation between disciplines evidenced in this book. Besides the editors, the authors, in order of their contributions, are Lorenzo Marunucci, Peter Romaskiewicz, Qian Jia, Gaik Cheng Khoo, Jean Duruz, Gwyn McClelland, Shivani Kapoor, Aubrey Tang, Saki Tanada, Adam Liebman, and Ruth E. Toulson. The disciplines brought together in this volume include anthropology, history, film studies, fine arts, food studies, literature, philosophy, political studies, and religious studies.

Strong-smelling miasmas, or drifting clouds of noxious air, have been central to human understandings of disease transmission. Well after the emergence of germ theory, fear of smells in the form of miasma continues to this day. Some commentators used olfactory evidence in positioning Chinese “wet markets” as the site of origin for COVID-19 virus. For example, in one paper in The COVID-19 Reader (2021), the writer suggests that “a lack of hygiene [at wet markets] was obvious from the smells and scattered wastes.” From this olfactory experience, the authors describe their lack of surprise that a pandemic might emerge from this place. We compare this in our introduction to another study of 2020 that shows how freshness is constructed and valued in sensory experiences of markets within China. Perceiving smells or odors as threats can reinforce, especially during the pandemic, the alterity of Asia as the other to the West. COVID-19 illustrated how olfaction is an intimately embodied, individual experience, but also a social phenomenon traveling between bodies and communities—and around the globe. In our collection, Aromas of Asia, we focus on the interconnections of sensory worlds, but we do so by offering a transnational and located approach to scentscapes in Asia, even as they are founded on mobility and exchange.

A Bowl of Roses by Rainer Maria Rilke Translated by Galway Kinell & Hannah Liebman You saw angry ones flare, saw two boys clump themselves together into a something that was pure hate, thrashing in the dirt like an animal set upon by bees; actors, piled up exaggerators, careening horses crashed to the ground, their gaze thrown away, baring their teeth as if the skull peeled itself out through the mouth. But now you know how these things are forgotten: for here before you stands a bowl full of roses, which is unforgettable and filled up with ultimate instances of being and bowing down, of offering themselves, of being unable to give, of standing there almost as part of us: ultimates for us too. Noiseless life, opening without end, filling space without taking any away from the space the other things in it diminish, almost without an outline, like something omitted, and pure inwardness, with so much curious softness, shining into itself, right up to the rim: is anything as known to us as this? And this: that a feeling arises because petals are being touched by petals? And this: that one opens itself, like a lid, and beneath lies nothing but eyelids, all closed, as if tenfold sleep had to dampen down an inner power to see. And, above all, this: that through the petals light has to pass. Slowly they filter out from a thousand skies the drop of darkness in whose fiery glow the jumbled bundle of stamens becomes aroused and rears up. And what activity, look, in the roses: gestures with angles of deflection so small one wouldn't see them if not for infinite space where their rays can diverge. See this white one, blissfully opened, standing among its huge spreading petals like a Venus standing in her shell; and how this one, the blushing one, turns, as if confused, toward the cooler one, and how the cooler one, impassive, draws back, and the cold one stands tightly wrapped in itself among these opened ones, that shed everything. And what they shed, how it can be at once light and heavy. a cloak. a burden, a wing, and a mask, it all depends, and how they shed it: as before a lover. Is there anything they can't be: wasn't this yellow one that lies here hollow and open the rind of a fruit of which the same yellow, more intense, more orange-red, was the juice? And this one, could opening have been too much for it, because, exposed to air, its nameless pink has picked up the bitter aftertaste of lilac? And isn't this batiste one a dress, with the chemise still inside it, still soft and breath-warm, both flung off together in morning shade at the bathing pool in the woods? And this one here, opalescent porcelain, fragile, a shallow china cup filled with little lighted butterflies, and this one, containing nothing but itself. And aren't they all doing the same: only containing themselves, if to contain oneself means: to transform the world outside and wind and rain and patience of spring and guilt and restlessness and disguised fate and darkness of earth at evening all the way to the errancy, flight, and coming on of clouds all the way to the vague influence of the distant stars into a handful of inwardness. Now it lies free of cares in the open roses. Claude Monet 1875 Camille Monet and a Child in the Artist’s Garden in Argenteuil, oil on canvas, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston

Intersectionality.

I’ve been thinking a lot about intersectionality lately, a word the right bloviates as hate-speak at my feminist-queer-Jewish-New-York-living-body. Its image appears as a Venn diagram: concentric circles of identity, story, culture, race, religion, you name it, that are within each of us. “The personal is political,” says writer Hannah Arendt, and so I have turned a more focused eye on intersectional aspects within me. The contradictions, the privilege I enjoy as a white, middle-class, well-educated woman, and the misogyny I also experience daily as a woman. I am not particularly special, but I am the only example I feel comfortable writing about to give a clear idea of what’s been in my mind.

My father is Jewish, my mother is Christian, and for my entire life they have meditated and studied many forms of Buddhism, beginning with a teacher named Thich Nhat Hanh. I know very little about my father’s family and their Judaism. My Jewishness growing up consisted of bagels with lox on Christmas morning, Grandma Rose’s horror at what she perceived to be my “cross-shaped” earrings, and an immense capacity to imagine the worst happening at any moment. What I do know is that my great-grandfather immigrated to the United States sometime in the early 20th century, I believe in 1913, during the worst of the pogroms in Odessa. During my free trial on ancestry.com (One of those white privilege perks that we have an ancestry.com to use. Where do my black friends go for their history?) I found three US census forms dating from 1920-1930 that showed Russia, Poland, and Romania as possible countries of origin for Louis Liebman, his wife Rebecca, and their four children, including my grandfather Charles Liebman. Bits and pieces of stories I have picked up from various family members indicate that Louis was a rather nasty bit of business. In my own work dealing with generational trauma, I can almost feel the darkness emanating from my great-grandfather, a sense of failure. Louis Liebman had been a shopkeeper in the Old Country, so the legend goes, and was brought to the US via land grants in rural Connecticut purchased by Lord Rothschild and given to Jews fleeing the pogroms, where they would make their homes as tobacco farmers.

Apparently Louis made a terrible farmer, and his rage and bitterness swelled to the point of forbidding my grandfather to attend high school in order to work, despite young Charles’ love of learning. To give you an idea of the extreme disconnect and pain on my father’s side, we only learnt in 2016 (and by we I mean me, my father, and his brother and sister) that my great-grandmother Rebecca had committed suicide after the family settled in the United States. I was twenty-eight, my dad, uncle, and aunt in their sixties learning this tragic and essential part of our history. I don’t even know for sure the date that Rebecca died. As an adult, I have become more of a practicing Jew and am endlessly fascinated with Judaism, primarily in an effort to reclaim this part of my spiritual and familial DNA. The knowledge of my ancestors’ Jewish faith, how they practiced if it all, their stories, are all lost. The more I learn about epigenetics, and delve deeper in Buddhist, Jewish, and shamanic knowledge, the more I feel certain that the trauma of persecution, assimilation, and lost identity my family experienced has indelibly marked my family and our collective spirit in deep and varied ways.

My mother’s family feels like old money Revolutionary War heroes compared to my Jewish patriarchal displacement and relatively recent arrival in the United States. The specifics like dates are equally hazy, but my mother’s line is descended from English and German immigrants who arrived in America in the 1840s (or 1830s) and settled in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, with the Moravian Church. Founded in the fifteenth century and one of the oldest Protestant denominations in the world, the Moravians’ beliefs were quite similar to those of the Quakers, with an emphasis on community, music, and a belief in the divinity of the self with less deference to a minister-figure. The Moravians had been established in Winston-Salem since 1766, and my mother’s ancestors were active in both community and church life, founding Salem Academy, an all-girls school that sparked my intention to go to boarding school. During a 7th grade visit to North Carolina over Christmas break, I remember attending Christmas Eve “lovefeast” service at the Moravian church, a beautiful white building still standing. The blissfully short yet music-filled service concluded with the congregation sitting together holding hands, then literally breaking bread together. I munched the traditional soft buns and drank the sweet milky coffee and felt utterly at peace.

As an adult, though, as my own wokeness in the aftermath of police brutality and Black Lives Matter developed, I questioned for the first time something so nakedly obvious: Had my coffee drinking, Southern school founding ancestors owned slaves? The fact that I was nearly thirty before it even occurred to me to consider that question is evidence that white privilege is in all of us, even the radically liberal ones. “Can’t be,” I thought to myself anxiously, “the Moravians were so chill! They were like the Quakers in so many ways, and they were abolitionists! Can’t have been slave owners.” Immediately I Googled “Moravian Church owning slaves North Carolina.” I was initially delighted to learn that the state of North Carolina had more free black people residing there than were in the entire South. Even better when I read that Moravians believed that while individuals may have different stations on the earthly realm, that all Moravians were equal under God, and in 18th century Winston-Salem, white and black Moravians worshipped and were buried in the same church. My moral superiority bubble lasted only an instant longer, as I continued to read that the Moravian Church did not believe in their members owning personal slaves, only the church itself. Apparently the South grew more deeply attached to the institution of slavery, and by the early 19th century the Moravian egalitarianism had faded. African Americans soon were required to sit in a balcony separate from the white Moravians, then had to be buried in the Strangers Graveyard far away from the white God’s Acre cemetery, and finally forced to have their own segregated black Moravian church. The memory of the sweet lovefeast coffee I had consumed turned to ash in my mouth. This is all of the information I know thus far. It is possible that my ancestors did own slaves, it is possible that they did not. It is certain that the religious institution that was such a large part of their lives did.

So. Bitter traumatized Jew on one side, Southern potential slave-owners on the other. Descended from terrified refugees persecuted for religious beliefs, and descended from a genteel people whose religious beliefs excused and allowed them to profit off of the subjugation of a human being. I use myself as a starting place to make a point. I believe these inherent contradictions in ourselves are what unite, not divide us. There is no place on earth (except perhaps New Zealand. Can we all move to New Zealand?) that is not built on generations of bloodshed, subjugation, and displacement. This act of looking inside ourselves is just the first step of a larger, much more crucial process: the act of recognizing the oneness we share with all living things. We are each made of the dust of the bones of our ancestors, each of us descended from people who were conquerors and oppressed, and within each of us are those concentric circles: in my case “Jewish” “female” “slavery supporters” “white” “feminist” “writer” “wife” et. al living in diametric opposition, suspended animation. Look at your own history for a moment; I am convinced that in your own unique, divine flavor, these opposites live inside you, too. Even the source of all of my fear these days, 45 cannot wall up, shower off, or alternative fact them away for himself.

Shema yisrael! Adonai Eloheinu adonai echad. This is the most important prayer in Judaism, one that observant children are taught to say first thing upon arising in the morning, before going to sleep, and the last words they say before death. My husband served in the Israeli army and told me stories of soldiers in the last Lebanon War screaming the Shema as they launched themselves on top of a grenade to shield their fellow soldiers. I am not a rabbi, but my un-nuanced translation is “Hear Israel! Our Lord Our God is One.” I have been taking Hebrew for a year, and am falling in love with the brevity and poetic simplicity of the language. It is evocative in a way that makes me believe in the presence of Spirit manifested in words. A whole tradition of mystical Judaism called Kabbalah explores this in depth. I love the Shema because it expresses the crucial idea of self-examination, and the importance of intersectionality: we are all one. It is an idea that I see beginning to mobilize and unify the resistance. Our collective liberation is personal liberation. Our self-care, as Queen Audre Lorde wrote, is our radical act of resistance. The unwillingness to accept intersectional, radically different parts of ourselves only serves to enforce the walls, the us versus them, the sense of superiority towards the “other,” when in actuality it is only evidence of a deeper, divine separation within us.

Resist. We must resist together, and be as one. At one with our neighbor, at one with our planet and all the life it holds, and at one with ourselves. We have the space to contain an infinitude. The infinitude within us, our different stories and ideas and cultures and cooking styles and religions are assets to share with the world. Let us unite, and in uniting, use what they seek to divide us.

Shabbat shalom, Inshallah, Namaste. In Peace.
