Marcel Cobussen intertwines sonic studies with philosophy, sound art, sociology and more to create an impressively lucid and innovative guide to sonic materialism, calling for a re-sensitization to our acoustic environment and arguing that everyday sounds have (micro)political, social, and ethical impact to which we should attend. </p><p>Exploring the intellectual history of sound studies as well as local, global, and temporal sonic geographies, Cobussen weaves audio files, images, and journal excerpts into his work to create a multimodal monograph that explores the relationships of humans, nonhumans, and their environments through sound. This accessible and interdisciplinary collection of short, powerful essays will be valuable reading for both academics and the general reader interested in sound studies, sound art, philosophy, or the sociology of everyday life—and for anyone keen to think about the sonic in new and engaging ways.</p> 04 00 1 Introduction 9 Welcome 10 On a Trip 2 Framing 15 Towards a Sonic Materialism #1: Rethinking Space Through Sound 17 Why Bother About Sounds? 19 Objectives 21 Disclaimers 23 Methodology 26 Towards a Sonic Materialism #2: Beyond Philosophy 27 Towards a Sonic Materialism #3: The World as Movement 30 Field Recordings 32 Photos 33 Towards a Sonic Materialism #4: Auditory Ontoepistemology 36 Towards a Sonic Materialism #5: Deconstructing Identity 3 The Familiarity of Everyday Sounds 41 The Domestic Sonic Ambiance 45 John Cage 47 Towards a Sonic Materialism #6: Deconstructing Anthropocentrism 49 The Trap 51 Disciplining Everyday Sounds 53 Windows and Doors 55 Documenting Ordinary Sonic Ambiances 58 Aural Lingering 4 The Unfamiliarity of Everyday Sounds 61 Meeting the Unfamiliar Accidentally 63 Meeting the Unfamiliar in the Familiar 64 Meeting the Unfamiliar in Audio Files 66 Meeting the Unfamiliar Abroad 72 Meeting the Unfamiliar through Apparatuses 75 Meeting the Unfamiliar through Aesthetics 77 Towards a Sonic Materialism #7: Possibilities 5 The Ethics and Politics of Everyday Sounds 81 Sonic Solastalgia 83 Everyday Sounds and the Social 87 Everyday Sounds and Politics 90 Everyday Sounds and Ethics 93 Everyday Sounds and Listening 6 Coda 99 The Role of (Non-)Art 103 (Non-)Art at Home 105 (Non-)Art Outside 109 Acknowledgments 111 Goodbye 113 Index 114 References 20 00 Open Access Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 01 20221130 2022 06 15 9781800643925 06 15 9781800643932 06 15 9781800643949 06 15 9781800646728 06 15 9781800643970 06 15 9781800643956 06 15 9781800643963 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0288.pdf 99 01 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0288 99 01
