This book argues that sound - as it is created, transmitted, and
perceived - plays a key role in the constitution of space and
community in contemporary Japan. The book examines how sonic
practices reflect politics, aesthetics, and ethics, with
transformative effects on human relations. From right-wing sound
trucks to left-wing protests, from early 20th century jazz cafes to
contemporary avant-garde art forms, from the sounds of U.S.
military presence to exuberant performances organized in
opposition, the book, rich in ethnographic detail, contributes to
sensory anthropology and the anthropology of contemporary Japan.
