The Sound Studies Reader blends recent work that self-consciously
describes itself as 'sound studies' along with earlier and
lesser-known scholarship on sound from across the humanities and
social sciences. The Sound Studies Reader touches on key themes
like noise and silence; architecture, acoustics and space; media
and reproducibility; listening, voices and disability; culture,
community, power and difference; and shifts in the form and meaning
of sound across cultures, contexts and centuries. Writers reflect
on crucial historical moments, difficult definitions, and competing
accounts of the role of sound in culture and everyday life. Across
the essays, readers will gain a sense of the range and history of
key debates and discussions in sound studies. The collection begins
with an introduction to welcome novice readers to the field and
acquaint them the main issues in sound studies. Individual section
introductions give readers further background on the essays and an
extensive up to date bibliography for further reading in sound
studies make this an original and accessible guide to the field.
