Sonic Epistemologies
Pre-modern sound practices can be defined as practices that activate things and processes with minimal intervention. Their infinitely diverse cosmos, however, did not help them become a significant part of the world of scientific rationality, which they ceded to numerical and formulaic precision at the expense of another type of precision — sonic. An arbitrary idiosyncrasy toward sound determined the fate of all Western science, but the new field…
Estimation of Tinnitus-Related Socioeconomic Costs in Germany
Despite the high prevalence of tinnitus in Germany of nearly 12% of the general population, there have been no systematic studies on the socioeconomic costs for German society caused by tinnitus so far. Here we analyzed data from 258 chronic tinnitus patients-namely tinnitus severity and health utility index (HUI)-and correlated them with their tinnitus-related public health care costs, private expenses, and economic loss due to their tinnitus pe…
Sonus und Persona: Für eine Anthropologie des Inhumanen
Dieser Beitrag erkundet und beschreibt das anthropologische Konzept einer sensorisch und besonders klanglich bestimmten Persona. Hintergrund bilden hierbei die künstlerischwissenschaflichen Forschungsmethoden des Soundwalks nach Hildegard Westerkamp, des Sensobiographic Walking oder Sensory Memory Walks nach Helmi Järviluoma sowie Jean-Luc Nancys Körperbegriff und Mario Perniolas Entwurf einer sensorisch verankerten Ideologie unter dem Begriff de…
Aus dem verletzten Leben: Eine Körperanthropologie der Wunden
Dieser Beitrag untersucht, was es heißt, verwundet zu leben. Was auf den ersten Blick als eine mehr als gewöhnliche und kaum spektakuläre Frage erscheinen mag, wird nach Untersuchung der dominanten Phantasmen der Unverletzlichkeit als eine Grundfrage der historischen Anthropologie erkennbar: Wie entsteht und wandelt sich der tägliche Umgang mit eigener Verletzlichkeit und Verwundung im Menschenbild? Welche Wunden des Gewöhnlichen werden in den me…

Bloomsbury Handbook of Sound Art
The Bloomsbury Handbook of Sound Art explores and delineates what Sound Art is in the 21st century. Sound artworks today embody the contemporary and transcultural trends towards the post-apocalyptic, a wide sensorial spectrum of sonic imaginaries as well as the decolonization and deinstitutionalization around the making of sound. Within the areas of musicology, art history, and, later, sound studies, Sound Art has evolved at least since the 1980s…
The Bloomsbury Handbook of the Anthropology of Sound
The Bloomsbury Handbook of the Anthropology of Sound presents the key subjects and approaches of anthropological research into sound cultures. What are the common characteristics as well as the inconsistencies of living with and around sound in everyday life? This question drives research in this interdisciplinary area of sound studies: it propels each main chapter of this handbook into a thoroughly different world of listening, experiencing, rec…
Corpus In Flux: The Sonic Persona, Its Affordances & The Layers of an Institution
What happens, when a sonic persona enters the museum? This contribution takes its start with the "Sonic Affordances" that predetermine any sonic experiences of a visitor in a museum, including three apparatuses that serve as major constraints: a) the historical usage, b) the contemporary technical installments and c) the security apparatuses. The second section, "The Disassembling of the Lectern," explicates the ongoing cultural and technological…
The Sonic Persona: An Anthropology of Sound
In The Sonic Persona, Holger Schulze undertakes a critical study of some of the most influential studies in sound since the 19th century in the natural sciences, the engineering sciences, and in media theory, confronting them with contemporary artistic practices, with experimental critique, and with disturbing sonic experiences. From Hermann von Helmholtz to Miley Cyrus, from FLUXUS to the Arab Spring, from Wavefield Synthesis to otoacoustic emis…
The precision of sensibility: How to deal with epistemological uncertainty
Uncertainty is a core issue and – as I would like to argue in this article – also a generative core quality of anthropological sensory practices. Research in particular and epistemologically meaningful endeavours in general are probably not even possible if moments and aspects of uncertainty are excluded or even avoided. Therefore, this article will start in the section ‘The sensory corpus’ with one example of auditory and sensory uncertainty by …
Materialität: Herausforderungen für die Sozial- und Kulturwissenschaften
Entgegen der Vorstellung einer im Wesentlichen sprachlich-symbolischen Verfasstheit von Kultur und Gesellschaft vermittelt dieser Band Einblicke in die materielle Beschaffenheit und Bedingtheit menschlichen Handelns und menschlicher Existenz. Hierfür behandeln die Autoren die Rolle und Bedeutung von Artefakten und Materialien, von Zeichen und Texten, von Licht, Tönen und Natur. Das Ergebnis ist eine Rehabilitierung des Materiellen in den Sozial- …

Resistance and Resonance: A Political Anthropology of Sound
This article presents a first and tentative inquiry into the field a political anthropology of sound and the senses. Recent riots, contemporary protest marches and sit-ins in mediated and intensely networked societies serve as a starting point to explore corporeal and perceptual intensities as a common reference in various political strategies of resistance these days. Yet in contrast to these apologies of corporeal existence historical research …
Everyone's a Different Kind of Alien: An Anthropology of Sound
This editorial presents an introduction into the field of an anthropology of sound, with a special focus on the research strand of Historische Anthropologie or Historical Anthropology as developed at the Interdisciplinary Center for Historical Anthropology in Berlin since the 1980s. The differences of this approach to a philosophical or biological anthropology are highlighted via its main focus on the plasticity and transformation of cultural con…

Monteverdi's Last Operas: A Venetian Trilogy. By Ellen Rosand. * The Cambridge Companion to Monteverdi. Ed. by John Whenham and Richard Wistreich
During the last thirty years or so, the music of Claudio Monteverdi has become a great favourite with concert-going audiences. This belated recognition is mirrored by an intensification in Monteverdi scholarship, which has lead to a remarkable wealth of insights, new interpretations, and discoveries concerning all aspects of the composer's life and output. Recently, two books have been published that both present the outcome of a generation of Mo…
Evaluation and reliability of the organic certification system: Perceptions by farmers in Latin America
In recent years, organic agriculture has developed rapidly, and organic certification systems are now used worldwide. However, if these standards are unable to meet their promises, their reliability will be called into question and trust in organic products will fade. As major suppliers of organic food to the European market, it is crucial for Latin American farmers to show their customers that the standards they have implemented are actually del…
Hand-Luggage: For a Generative Theory of Artifacts
This article presents the basic elements and strategies of a generative theory of artifacts, the Theorie der Werkgenese. Starting with a narrative reconstruction of Mike Mills's TV commercial for Adidas, the text briefly outlines a history of aleatoric games and heuristic strategies in the classical avantgarde as well as in postmodern follow-ups and late-20th-century pop music. Finally, the various fictions conveyed by the commercial are narrated…
