[ecrea] New book: Sonic Time Machines by Wolfgang Ernst

Wed Apr 27 18:11:33 GMT 2016



I am happy to announce that the 2nd book in the Recursions-book series focusing on media theory is now out: Wolfgang Ernst's Sonic Time Machines theorizes sound and audio media from the perspective of media theory.

"Our studies of aesthetics and knowledge have long tended to privilege the visual - at the expense, Wolfgang Ernst argues, of the aural. Sonic Time Machines aims to correct that, presenting a striking new approach to theorising sound that investigates its split existence: as a temporal effect in a techno-cultural context and as a source of knowledge and information. Ernst creates a new term for the concept at the heart of the book, "sonicity," a flexible and powerful term that allows him to consider sound with all its many physical, philosophical, and cultural valences."
