Sonic Possible Worlds, Revised Edition
Author: Salomé Voegelin
language: en
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
Release Date: 2021-01-14
From its use in literary theory, film criticism and the discourse of games design, Salomé Voegelin expands 'possible world theory' to think the worlding of sound in music, in art and in the everyday. The modal logic of possible worlds, articulated principally via David K. Lewis and developed through Maurice Merleau-Ponty's phenomenological life-worlds, creates a view on the invisible slices of the world and reflects on how to make them count, politically and aesthetically. How to make them thinkable and accessible as the possibility of the everyday and of art: to reach a new materialist understanding from the invisible and to develop an ear for the as yet inaudible. This revised edition continues Voegelin's exploration of the sonic possibility of the world into the sonic possibility and impossibility of the body. Listening to work by Áine O'Dwyer, Hannah Silva and Jocy de Oliveira, it considers sonic possible worlds' radical power to rethink normative constructions and to fabulate a different body from its sound: Hearing the Continuum Between Plural Bodies; between humans, humanoid aliens, monsters, vampires, plants, things and anything we have no name for yet but which a sonic philosophy might start to hear and call.
Futures of Digital Scholarly Editing
Exploring technology, ethics, and culture to unlock digital scholarship’s future Futures of Digital Scholarly Editing navigates the ever-shifting terrain of digital academia, examining practical and ethical considerations as technology continues to evolve. In this indispensable collection, digital humanities practitioners and scholars work with a wide range of archival materials to confront key challenges surrounding the adaptation and sustainability of digital editorial projects as well as their societal impact. Broaching essential questions at the nexus of technology and culture, Futures of Digital Scholarly Editing is organized around three principal frameworks: access, sustainability, and interoperability; ethics and community involvement; and the evolution of textual scholarship. From addressing outdated technical infrastructures to fostering new collaborations, this volume serves as a beacon guiding scholars and institutions through the complexities of digital editing in an era of profound technological and societal transformation.

Creative Urban Atmospheres
Creative Urban Atmospheres explores the potential for urban planners, researchers, and artists to intervene in the atmosphere of spectacle dominating current neoliberal urbanism strategies through sensory and sound-based artistic interventions drawing from Tactical Urbanism and Research-Creation. This book equips readers with tools and insights needed to address the pressing challenges of urban livability and inclusiveness in the face of neoliberal urbanism. Through engaging discussions and a case study conducted in Montreal’s Quartier des Spectacles, the book demonstrates how sound-based and sensory interventions can reshape urban atmospheres, fostering cohabitation and inclusiveness for diverse populations. Key features include an interdisciplinary emphasis on the intertwinements of academic research, artistic practice, and participatory community engagement, ensuring that readers gain both theoretical understanding and practical approaches. With its focus on innovative methods such as Research-Creation and socially engaged art, this book not only critiques existing urban strategies but also empowers planners, artists, and communities with tactics for collaboratively transforming underused urban spaces into vibrant, livable, and inclusive social environments. This book is designed for a diverse audience deeply invested in the future of urban spaces. It will be of interest to urban planners seeking innovative approaches to address urban polarization and promote inclusiveness, as well as academic researchers in urban studies and geography exploring the intersections of Tactical Urbanism and sensory interventions. Artists, designers, and architects will find inspiration in its emphasis on creative, participatory approaches while policymakers and community advocates can draw practical insights for fostering livable, inclusive cities. It also speaks to anyone with a vested interest in the challenges facing contemporary cities, including gentrification, touristification, and neoliberal urban pressures on the most marginalized groups.
