Bangkok Is Ringing is an on-the-ground sound studies analysis of
the political protests that transformed Thailand in 2010-11.
Bringing the reader through sixteen distinct "sonic niches" where
dissidents used media to broadcast to both local and diffuse
audiences, the book mus18ethes these mass protests in a way that
few movements have ever been catalogued. The Red Shirt and Yellow
Shirt protests that shook Thailand took place just before other
international political movements, including the Arab Spring and
Occupy Wall Street. Bangkok Is Ringing analyzes the Thai protests
in comparison with these, seeking to understand the logic not only
of political change in Thailand, but across the globe. The book is
attuned to sound in a great variety of forms. Author Benjamin
Tausig traces the history and use in protest of specific media
forms, including community radio, megaphones, CDs, and live
concerts. The research took place over the course of sixteen
months, and the author worked closely with musicians, concert
promoters, activists, and rank-and-file protesters. The result is a
detailed and sensitive ethnography that argues for an understanding
of sound and political movements in tandem. In particular, it
emphasizes the necessity of thinking through constraint as a
fundamental condition of both political movements and the sound
that these movements produce. In order to produce political
transformations, Bangkok Is Ringing argues, dissidents must be
sensitive to the ways that their sounding is constrained and
channeled.
