Sonic Identity at the Margins convenes the interdisciplinary work
of 17 academics, composers, and performers to examine sonic
identity from the 19th century to the present. Recognizing the
myriad aspects of identity formation, the authors in this volume
adopt methodological approaches that range from personal accounts
and embodied expression to archival research and hermeneutic
interpretation. They examine real and imagined spaces—from video
games and monument sites to films and depictions of outer
space—by focusing on sonic creation, performance, and reception.
Drawing broadly from artistic and performance disciplines, the
authors reimagine the roles played by music and sound in
constructing notions of identity in a broad array of musical
experiences, from anti-slavery songsters to Indigenous tunes and
soundscapes, noise and multimedia to popular music and symphonic
works. Exploring relationships between sound and various markers of
identity—including race, gender, ability, and nationality—the
authors explore challenging, timely topics, including the legacies
of slavery, indigeneity, immigration, and colonial expansion. In
heeding recent calls to decolonize music studies and confront its
hegemonic methods, the authors interrogate privileged perspectives
embedded in creating, performing, and listening to sound, as well
as the approaches used to analyze these experiences.
