There is no place on earth that does not echo with the near or
distant sounds of human activity. More than half of humanity lives
in cities, meaning the daily soundtrack of our lives is filled with
sound-whether it be sonorous, harmonious, melodic, syncopated,
discordant, cacophonous, or even screeching. This new anthology
aims to explore how humans are placed in certain affective
attitudes and dispositions by the music, sounds, and noises that
envelop us. Sound and Affect maps a new territory for inquiry at
the intersection of music, philosophy, affect theory, and sound
studies. The essays in this volume consider objects and experiences
marked by the correlation of sound and affect, in music and beyond:
the voice, as it speaks, stutters, cries, or sings; music, whether
vocal, instrumental, or machine-made; and our sonic environments,
whether natural or artificial, and how they provoke responses in
us. Far from being stable, correlations of sound and affect are
influenced and even determined by factors as diverse as race,
class, gender, and social and political experience. Examining these
factors is key to the project, which gathers contributions from a
cross-disciplinary roster of scholars, including both established
and new voices. This agenda-setting collection will prove
indispensable to anyone interested in innovative approaches to the
study of sound and its many intersections with affect and the
emotions.
