Beskrivning
Collections on sound studies have seldom explored the vexed relationship between literature – a medium largely defined by its silence – and the dynamics and technologies of sound. This Companion is designed to help sound studies scholars grapple with the auditory capacities of text and encourage literary scholars to take full cognisance of the rich soundscapes mapped, or created, by texts read quietly. The essays assembled here consider a broad range of sound studies topics, including music in writing; the inscription of listening; worlding through sound; military and industrial noise; the gender of sound; racialised soundscapes; theatrical sounds; literature and sound media; and sonic epistemology. Helen Groth and Julian Murphet present a comprehensive set of new research on the relationship between sound and writing over time from a range of eminent, established and emerging sound studies scholars.

Recensioner i media

This expertly organised volume, composed of foundational and up-and-coming voices, asserts the rightful place of writing and language in the study of sound. While it’s long been a truism that the sonic turn is against the linguistic, this volume begins from a deconstructive premise to encounter the literary anew in the most vital debates in sound studies today.
