Ludic Dreaming uses (sometimes fictional) dreams as a method for
examining sound and contemporary technoculture's esoteric
exchanges, refusing both the strictures of visually dominated logic
and the celebratory tone that so often characterizes the "sonic
turn." Instead, through a series of eight quasi-analytical essays
on the condition of listening, the book forwards a robust
engagement with sounds (human and nonhuman alike) that leverages
particularity in its full, radical singularity: what is a dream,
after all, if not an incipient physics that isn't held to the
scientific demand for repeatability? Thus, these studies declare
their challenge to the conventions of argumentation and situate
themselves at a threshold between theory and fiction, one that
encourages reader and writer alike to make lateral connections
between otherwise wildly incongruent subjects and states of
affairs. Put differently, Ludic Dreaming is a how-to book for
listening away from the seeming fatality of contemporary
technologies, which is to say, away from the seeming inevitability
of late capitalistic nihilism.
