The essay is the perfect format for a crisis. Its porous and
contingent nature forgives a lack of formality, while its neglect
of perfection and virtuosity releases the potential for the
incomplete and the unrealizable. These seven essays on The
Political Possibility of Sound present a perfectly incomplete form
for a discussion on the possibility of the political that includes
creativity and invention, and articulates a politics that imagines
transformation and the desire to embrace a connected and
collaborative world. The themes of these essays emerge from and
deepen discussions started in Voegelin's previous books, Listening
to Noise and Silence and Sonic Possible Worlds. Continuing the
methodological juxtaposition of phenomenology and logic and writing
from close sonic encounters each represents a fragment of listening
to a variety of sound works, to music, the acoustic environment and
to poetry, to hear their possibilities and develop words for what
appears impossible. As fragments of writing they respond to ideas
on geography and migration, bring into play formless subjectivities
and trans-objective identities, and practice collectivity and a
sonic cosmopolitanism through the hearing of shared volumes. They
involve the unheard and the in-between to contribute to current
discussions on new materialism, and perform vertical readings to
reach the depth of sound.
