“Listen to how writing culture meets sound studies. These patient and passionate essays reveal critical stakes for research ethics and aesthetics. The essays in this collectionperformative, resonant, sonorousshow that sound, listening, and inscription have far more in common than is usually assumed. Theorizing Sound Writing takes Sound Studies to the next level.” (Veit Erlmann, author of Reason and Resonance) . In doing so they stimulate resonant theoretical alliances between performance studies, media studies, musicology, and ethnomusicology.&rd
The contributors write about sound in their ongoing work, while also making an intervention into the ethics of academic knowledge, one in which listening is the first step not only in translating sound into words but also in compassionate scholarship.. The study of listening—aurality—and its relation to writing is the subject of this eclectic edited volume. This volume contains an impressive lineup of scholars from anthropology, ethnomusicology, musicology, performance, and sound studies. Theorizing Sound Writing explores the relationship between sound, theory, language, and inscription
