Sound and Affect - Voice, Music, World


 

There is no place on earth that does not echo with the near or distant sounds of human activity. More than half of humanity lives in cities, meaning the daily soundtrack of our lives is filled with sound-whether it be sonorous, harmonious, melodic, syncopated, discordant, cacophonous, or even screeching. This new anthology aims to explore how humans are placed in certain affective attitudes and dispositions by the music, sounds, and noises that envelop us.Sound and Affect?maps a new territory for?inquiry?at the intersection of music, philosophy,?affect theory,?and sound studies.?The essays?in?this volume?consider?objects and experiences?marked by the?correlation of sound and affect, in music and beyond: the voice,?as it speaks, stutters, cries, or sings, music, whether vocal, instrumental, or?machine-made,?and?our sonic environments, whether natural or?artificial, and?how they provoke responses in us.?Far?from being stable, correlations of sound and affect are influenced?and even determined?by factors as diverse as race, class, gender, and social and political experience.?Examining these factors is key to the project, which gathers contributions from a cross-disciplinary roster of scholars, including both established and new voices.?This agenda-setting collection will prove indispensable to anyone interested in innovative approaches to the study of sound and its many intersections with affect and?the?emotions.
