Overview
The first edition of this brilliantly conceived Reader offered an introduction to both classical and new 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 new edition reflects on the changes to the field since the first edition and offers a vast amount of new content, a new user-friendly organization which highlights key themes and concepts and a new methodologies section which addresses practical questions for students setting out on auditory explorations. All essays are accessible to non-experts and encompass cutting-edge scholarship from the leading figures in the field, tackling 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 which open up a world beyond the visual. The Reader 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.
