Sensation is the impression produced by something and captured through the senses . The term, which has its origin in the Latin word sensatĭo , has three meanings and uses in the dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE) .
For example: "When I saw the state of the school, I had a very ugly feeling" , "The feeling of warmth that the hug gave me spread throughout my body" , "There is no feeling more pleasant than drinking a bowl of soup on a winter night .
Sensation like astonishment or prognosis
The idea of sensation is also used to name the astonishment caused by something or the success achieved: "My new jacket caused a sensation at the party" , "The singer who is a sensation in Europe will perform next Thursday in the capital of Chile" , «The actor's visit was the sensation of the summer» .
The forecast or prediction of something that will happen can also be named as a feeling: "I have the feeling that we won this game," "My feeling is that the mayor will not run in the next elections."
Title of a movie
Thus we cannot ignore the existence of a film called "Sensations" . In 1991 , this film appeared, directed by the Cordero brothers ( Viviana and Juan Esteban ), which is a musical drama. It tells how a group of Spanish origin decides to go to the Andes with the clear objective of recording their next album there, a work in which they will make clear the influence of the sounds of this Ecuadorian place.
The most significant thing about this production is that it managed to win an award at the Bogotá Film Festival . Specifically, it won the award for best original music which, in this case, is halfway between rock and the so-called new age style.
“Feeling of living” series
Within the audiovisual field we cannot ignore the existence of the term sensation in one of the most important series of the 90s . We are referring to "90210" , known in Spain as " Feeling of living" . The great American television producer Aaron Spelling was the one behind this fictional product that brought us closer to the experiences of a group of young people from Beverly Hills during their years in high school and university.
The starting point of this aforementioned series was the arrival to this luxurious American enclave of the Walsh twins, Brandon and Brenda , who will become the fundamental pillar of that gang in which, although money prevails, there are a series of deficiencies on an affective and emotional level.
The term associated with temperature
It should be noted, on the other hand, that thermal sensation is what human beings feel according to various variables that affect the environment. Typically, thermal sensation is associated with temperature and other weather conditions, although it depends on other personal issues such as the heat produced by the body (measured according to the metabolic rate) and others.
In any case, a general thermal sensation is usually spread, calculated according to the temperature, wind, ambient humidity, etc.: "The thermal sensation already exceeds thirty degrees and would continue to rise."
