Narrative Mapping
Across multiple and diverse populations, exigent inquiries, and in and out of the classroom, an ethic for listening as a way of being has been central to the methodological and pedagogical practices that undergird narrative mapping. Additionally, the author suggests that in situating the practice of listening as crucial to both communication and healing, we are equally bound to an ethic of creating space. As listeners for the other, we commit to …
Mapping tinnitus
In this article, I offer a critical reflection on the production of "tinnitus maps" as part of the Arts and Humanities Research Council project, Tinnitus, Auditory Knowledge and the Arts. Influenced by both methods and critiques of sound mapping, tinnitus maps mark an attempt to creatively document the relationship between aurality, context and place. Tinnitus maps depart from sound mapping's focus on the aural specificity of "proper noun" places…
Introduction
Narrative Mapping
Narrative mapping is a newly emergent form of participant-generated visual methodology. This essay differentiates narrative mapping from other visual methodologies and from other genres of mapping by examining a shared epistemological framework undergirding both the construction of narratives and the crafting of maps. The confluence of these innately human inclinations extends current methodological practices of narrative inquiry, especially in h…
Sonic Cyberfeminisms
Since the mid-2010s, there has been a surge of interest in the relations between sound, gender and technology.Debates taking place in contemporary arts, music, education and audio technology pointed to the continued lack of women and non-binary people represented in areas of these fields.Particularly in the technocentric fields relating to electronic-based musics and sound arts, a masculinist and heteronormative bias has compounded an often under…
Your Womb, the Perfect Classroom
In this article, I explore the auditory technopolitics of prenatal sound systems, asking what kinds of futures, listeners and temporalities they seek to produce. With patents for prenatal audio apparatus dating back to the late 1980s, there are now a range of devices available to expectant parents. These sound technologies offer multiple benefits: from soothing away stress to increasing the efficiency of ultrasonic scans. However, one common poin…
Sounding the Arcane
Reproduction is a central but largely unquestioned concept in sound and music studies, where it is typically used to refer to the capture, mediation, repetition, and distribution of sound via practices and processes of recording. However, reproduction has a variety of other meanings and connotations. In this article, I use reproduction as a critical apparatus through which to address contemporary music, its gendered formations, and its connection…
Spinoza and musical power
In one of the few places in which musical experience is discussed in Spinoza’s Ethics, it is used as a means of exemplifying the ways in which an entity, in itself, is not ‘good or evil’: it is neither, or both, depending on the relations into which it enters with other bodies. In this article, I consider what a Spinozist theory of musical power might entail. I argue that the particular, immanent and materialist notions of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ that c…
Living a Feminist Life
For Sara Ahmed, “feminism is sensational” (21). Her writing is full of affectations –bumps and frictions, repulsions and collisions, sudden snaps and slow burns. Indeed, there is no doubt that Ahmed, in giving voice to feminist feelings, has touched many readers. Figures such as the feminist killjoy, who, in disrupting the “happy atmosphere” of the status quo, becomes an object of unhappiness (The Promise of Happiness 2010); the chastised yet def…
Beyond Unwanted Sound
Noise is so often a ‘stench in the ear’ – an unpleasant disturbance or an unwelcome distraction. But there is much more to noise than what greets the ear as unwanted sound. Beyond Unwanted Sound is about noise and how we talk about it. Weaving together affect theory with cybernetics, media histories, acoustic ecology, geo-politics, sonic art practices and a range of noises, Marie Thompson critiques both the conservative politics of silence and tr…
Whiteness and the Ontological Turn in Sound Studies
In recent years, there has been a noticeable 'turn' toward questions of sound's ontology in sound studies.Apropos of this ontological turn, there is self-professed move away from questions of culture, signification, discourse, and identity; and toward questions of materiality, affect, potentiality, aesthetics, and abstraction.Moreover, the ontological turn in sound studies can be understood to mark a move away from the specific to the general.Yet…
To soothe or remove? Affect, revanchism and the weaponized use of classical music
Over the past 30 years, in the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States, classical music has come to function as a sonic weapon. It is used a means of dispelling and deterring 'loiterers' by making particular public and privately owned public spaces - such as shopping malls, bus stations, shop fronts and car parks - undesirable to occupy. In this article, I present weaponized classical music as a 'revanchist', audio-affective deterrent. Drawi…
Feminised Noise and the 'Dotted Line' of Sonic Experimentalism
This article outlines various intersections of noise and femininity, through which noise has been feminised and the feminine has been produced as noisy. Feminised musical genres, such as mainstream pop, have been dismissed as excessive, banal and extraneous noise. Noise has also been feminised by a number of recent historiographical and curatorial projects that have sought to amplify the creative work of women in experimental and electronic music…
Making space
This article considers the spatial politics of contemporary performance spaces constructed through DIY, improvised noise scenes. Noise (as something performed) is often categorized as “experimental,” “free,” or “avant garde.” It carries associations of emancipation, eschewing as it does conventional musical training, and the constraints of formal compositional and linguistic expression. Unfolding as a debate between the two authors, this article …
Sound, music, affect
Sound, Music, Affect features brand new essays that bring together the burgeoning developments in sound studies and affect studies. The first section sets out key methodological and theoretical concerns, focussing on the relationships between affective models and sound. The second section deals with particular musical case studies, exploring how reference to affect theory might change or reshape some of the ways we are able to make sense of music…
Productive Parasites
Drawing from Michel Serres' notion of the parasite, this article provides a nuanced explanation for noise that distinguishes itself from prevailing negative narratives, which often seek to define noise as unwanted, undesirable or damaging sound. Such narratives have left noise vulnerable to moralising polemics, which construct silence and noise as a dichotomy between the past and present, natural and cultural, relaxing and disturbing, and, fundam…
