Voicetracks
The affects, aesthetics, and ethics of voice in the new materialist turn, explored through encounters with creative works in media and the arts. Moved by the Aboriginal understandings of songlines or dreaming tracks, Norie Neumark's Voicetracks seeks to deepen an understanding of voice through listening to a variety of voicing/sound/voice projects from Australia, Europe and the United States. Not content with the often dry tone of academic writing, the author engages a “wayfaring” process that brings together theories of sound, animal, and posthumanist studies in order to change the ways we think about and act with the assemblages of living creatures, things, places, and histories around...
Sonic Flux
From Edison’s invention of the phonograph through contemporary field recording and sound installation, artists have become attracted to those domains against which music has always defined itself: noise, silence, and environmental sound. Christoph Cox argues that these developments in the sonic arts are not only aesthetically but also philosophically significant, revealing sound to be a continuous material flow to which human expressions contribute but which precedes and exceeds those expressions. Cox shows how, over the course of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, philosophers and sonic artists have explored this “sonic flux.” Through the philosophical analysis of works by John Cage, Maryanne Amacher, Max Neuhaus, Christian Marclay, and many others, Sonic Flux contributes to the development of a materialist metaphysics and poses a challenge to the prevailing positions in cultural theory, proposing a realist and materialist aesthetics able to account not only for sonic art but for artistic production in general.
Tunes for All?
In ten original essays, Danish music and media scholars discuss aspects of music on the radio from the 1920s until today. Understanding music radio as a distributed phenomenon or as a multiplicity, the authors draw upon anthropology, cultural studies and media studies along with sociological and historiographical theory. The intention is to further develop interdisciplinary approaches that may grasp the complex interrelations between radio as an institution and as practices on the one hand and music, musical practices, and musical life on the other. The essays' examples and cases are all related to the Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR) and offer a music radio production perspective. They ...
Cinema, Philosophy, Bergman
The increasingly popular idea that cinematic fictions can 'do' philosophy raises some difficult questions. Who is actually doing the philosophizing? Is it the philosophical commentator who reads general arguments or theories into the stories conveyed by a film? Could it be the film-maker, or a group of collaborating film-makers, who raise and try to answer philosophical questions with a film? Is there something about the experience of films that is especially suited to the stimulation of worthwhile philosophical reflections? In the first part of this book, Paisley Livingston surveys positions and arguments surrounding the cinema's philosophical value. He raises criticisms of bold theses in t...

Blik for lyd
’Blik for lyd’ handler ikke om at slå blikket ned eller lukke øjnene i. Den handler derimod om at slå ørerne ud og holde blik, ører og tænkning åbne for lyd og dermed for de øvrige sensoriske modaliteter, som til stadighed henvender sig til os gennem medier og artefakter, i byen og i vores hverdag. ’Blik for lyd’ introducerer som den første bog på dansk et internationalt stort og voksende fag- og forskningsfelt, ’Sound Studies’, som stadig er i boblende udvikling, og som er markant interdisciplinært. Bogen henvender sig derfor til så forskellige fagområder som medie-, sprog-, it- og kommunikationsfag, kunst- og kulturfag, geografi-, arkitektur- og naturvidenskabelige fag samt handels- og organisationsfag. Det sker gennem otte forskellige bidrag, som med lyttende og analytisk afsæt undersøger forskellige lydfænomener i kontekst: fra lyd i film, musikvideo, reklamer, lydkunst og lydbøger til lyd og urbanitet – lyd og lokalitet.
