The Auditory Culture Reader: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Auditory Culture Reader" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

The first edition of The Auditory Culture Reader offered an introduction to both classical and recent work on auditory culture, laying the foundations for new academic research in sound studies. Today, interest and research on sound thrives across disciplines such as music, anthropology, geography, sociology and cultural studies as well as within the new interdisciplinary sphere of sound studies itself. This second edition reflects on the changes to the field since the first edition and offers a vast amount of new content, a user-friendly organization which highlights key themes and concepts, and a methodologies section which addresses practical questions for students setting out on auditory explorations. All essays are accessible to non-experts and encompass scholarship from leading figures in the field, discussing issues relating to sound and listening from the broadest set of interdisciplinary perspectives. Inspiring students and researchers attentive to sound in their work, newly-commissioned and classical excerpts bring urban research and ethnography alive with sensory case studies that open up a world beyond the visual. This book is core reading for all courses that cover the role of sound in culture, within sound studies, anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, history, media studies and urban geography.

THE AUDITORY CULTURE READER Sensory Formations Series Editor David Howes - photo 1

THE AUDITORY CULTURE READER

Sensory Formations

Series Editor:DavidHowes

What is the world like to cultures that privilege touch or smell over sight or hearing? Do mens and women's sensory experiences differ?

What lies beyond the aesthetic gaze?

Who says money has no smell?

How has the proliferation of taste cultures resulted in new forms of social discrimination?

How is the sixth sense to be defined?

What is the future of the senses in cyberspace?

From the Ancient Greeks to medieval mystics and eighteenth-century empiricists, Karl Marx to Marshall McLuhan, the senses have been the subject of dramatic proclamations. Senses are sources of pleasure and pain, knowledge and power. Sites of intense personal experience, they are also fields of extensive cultural elaboration. Yet surprisingly, it is only recently that scholars in the humanities and social sciences have turned their full attention to sensory experience and expression as a subject for inquiry.

This path-breaking series aims to show how the sensual revolution has supplanted both the linguistic and the pictorial turns in the human sciences to generate a new fieldsensual culture, where all manner of disciplines converge. Its objective is to enhance our understanding of the role of the senses in history, culture, and aesthetics, by redressing an imbalance: the hegemony of vision and privileging of discourse in contemporary theory and cultural studies must be overthrown in order to reveal the role all senses play in mediating cultural experience. The extraordinary richness and diversity of the social and material worlds, as constituted through touch, taste, smell, hearing, sight and, provocatively, the sixth sense, are addressed in the volumes of this series as follows:
