Reimagining how we understand and write about the Indigenous
listening experience Hungry Listening is the first book to
consider listening from both Indigenous and settler colonial
perspectives. A critical response to what has been called the
“whiteness of sound studies,” Dylan Robinson evaluates how
decolonial practices of listening emerge from increasing awareness
of our listening positionality. This, he argues, involves
identifying habits of settler colonial perception and contending
with settler colonialism’s “tin ear” that renders silent the
epistemic foundations of Indigenous song as history, law, and
medicine. With case studies on Indigenous participation in
classical music, musicals, and popular music, Hungry Listening
examines structures of inclusion that reinforce Western musical
values. Alongside this inquiry on the unmarked terms of inclusion
in performing arts organizations and compositional practice, Hungry
Listening offers examples of “doing sovereignty” in Indigenous
performance art, museum exhibition, and gatherings that support an
Indigenous listening resurgence. Throughout the book, Robinson
shows how decolonial and resurgent forms of listening might be
affirmed by writing otherwise about musical experience. Through
event scores, dialogic improvisation, and forms of poetic response
and refusal, he demands a reorientation toward the act of reading
as a way of listening. Indigenous relationships to the life of song
are here sustained in writing that finds resonance in the
intersubjective experience between listener, sound, and
space.
