A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press’s Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more.How much of your life is preprogrammed? Presets, or default settings on technology, can be found everywhere from predictive text and Instagram filters to microwave popcorn buttons and morning alarms. But while presets facilitate the completion of tasks and the production of art, they also reinforce—and sometimes challenge—economic, political, and social norms. In Preprogrammed, interdisciplinary scholar Amy Skjerseth turns to modern music and media to explore what presets allow and deny. Employing capitalist, queer, and feminist critique to reveal how audiovisual presets have reconfigured ways of seeing and hearing over the past century, Skjerseth shows how, from the popularization of the push-button car radio in the 1930s to the Auto-Tune era and the advent of AI, artists have co-opted preset technologies to develop new forms of artistic and cultural expression. An urgent reconsideration of the cultural and political systems we often take for granted, this book is an elegantly theorized and paradigm-shifting invitation to rethink the profundity of the everyday.

This collection pushes the boundaries of studies and practices of voice–not only past essential, transcendental, and universal notions of voicing, but also to understudied arenas of voice and identity, especially in race, disability, aging, geographical, Indigenous, trans, and other contexts. The authors and editors understand the voice as existing both in and across contexts. Case studies oscillate between local and global phenomena to ground voicing in temporal, geographical, and political scales. From South African opera singers to Brazilian countertenors, gender-affirming trans voice care to spectrographic and documentary forms of representing voice, and Indigenous film dubbing to embodied performances of American Sign Language, this collection opens up disciplinarily and epistemologically bound topics to ask how vocality works in a multitude of ways for producing meanings around culture and identity. Moreover, this collection engages and emerges from a broad range of academic ranks, artistic practices, geographies, and identities, and engages interviews, multimedia exhibitions, and more. The contributors situate each act of voicing in its place, time, and connections to questions of power, agency, and advocacy.This book is for scholars and practitioners of voice and voice studies and those interested in the structural–and fluid–aspects of identity. The authors address both historical and cutting-edge issues, imbricating vocality in identity.
