This article explores the relationship between sound structure and social structure in the Kaluli society of Papua New Guinea. Feld argues that Kaluli sound and music are not merely reflections of social structure but are constitutive of it. He examines how Kaluli sonic aesthetics, particularly their emphasis on "lift-up-over sounding," are deeply intertwined with their social organization, ceremonial practices, and emotional experiences. The article analyzes specific Kaluli musical forms, such as the gisalo ceremony, to demonstrate how sound patterns embody and enact social relationships, including kinship ties, power dynamics, and collective identity. Feld's work highlights the importance of understanding sound as a social force and challenges traditional distinctions between music and social life.
