Sound Studies and East Asian STS
With his enthusiasm for the Moog synthesizer, as well as his broader affinities for sound, music, and technology, Trevor Pinch has left an important legacy on which East Asian STS may build. In this essay, I offer a retrospective of Pinch's key contributions to sound studies by drawing specifically on his methodological and conceptual framing of sound within STS. I chart out recent scholarship on the technological study of sound in musical and po…
Noise viscerality
By hearing and identifying a noise problem, residents in Taiwan transmute the visceral experience of noise in relation to neighbors, the state, and others. In the countryside, in the city, and in the ocean, the challenges of negotiating noise speak to the apprehension of a sonic climate that mediates the limits of a shared, human experience, as well as the possibilities for living with others in spite of those limitations. In these cases, noise a…
Making noise in urban Taiwan
During Taiwan's transition from authoritarian rule to liberal governance in the 1970s-80s, the government introduced a noise-control system that uses technological instruments to manage citizens' everyday noise problems. Rather than reducing noise problems, however, the system has amplified the disparity between a sound that is heard and one that is measured, calling into question the efficacy of noise control to attend to citizens' needs. For re…
Piano transductions
While scholars have drawn attention to the production of space through sound, there has been less attention given to the interchange between multiple co-existing environments. This paper examines how the sounding of one place informs and produces the sounding of another by focusing on Western art music as it is multiply negotiated by urban residents in Taipei, Taiwan. Building upon Stefan Helmreich's provocation on the transductive quality underl…
