What Sounds Do: New Directions in an Anthropology of Sound
Research output: Book/Report › Anthology › Research › peer-review
Oscillating Concepts and Challenging Experiments: Reflections upon Editorial Work on Audio Papers.
Sounds are always present: They surround and permeate us, solidifying, dissolving, and complicating relationships. Through genuine agency, sounds can articulate protest or approval, serve as a political statement or thought, and forge connections between people, entities, and environments. This special issue of audio and research papers aims to chart new directions in an anthropology of sound (Schulze 2021) - focusing on the interpersonal, social and political. What can sound do? What agencies and articulations do sonic events and practices mediate (LaBelle 2018)? In what ways does sound function as protest or resistance? What personae are sonically performed – in historical eras, in the present, or in the near future (Schulze 2018)?
