In Atmospheric Noise, Marina Peterson traces entanglements of
environmental noise, atmosphere, sense, and matter that cohere in
and through encounters with airport noise since the 1960s.
Exploring spaces shaped by noise around Los Angeles International
Airport (LAX), she shows how noise is a way of attuning toward the
atmospheric: through noise we learn to listen to the sky and
imagine the permeability of bodies and matter, sensing and
conceiving that which is diffuse, indefinite, vague, and unformed.
In her account, the “atmospheric” encompasses the physicality
of the ephemeral, dynamic assemblages of matter as well as a logic
of indeterminacy. It is audible as well as visible, heard as much
as breathed. Peterson develops a theory of “indefinite
urbanism” to refer to marginalized spaces of the city where
concrete meets sky, windows resonate with the whine of departing
planes, and endangered butterflies live under flight paths.
Offering a conceptualization of sound as immanent and
non-objectified, she demonstrates ways in which noise is central to
how we know, feel, and think atmospherically.
