This cross-disciplinary volume illuminates the history of early 
phonography from a transnational perspective, recovering the myriad 
sites, knowledge practices, identities and discourses which dynamically 
shaped early recording cultures. With case studies from China, 
Australia, the United States, Latin America, Russia, Sweden, Germany, 
Spain, Portugal, France, and Italy/, Phonographic Encounters/explores 
moments of interaction and encounter, as well as tensions, between local 
and global understandings of recording technologies.　　

Drawing on an array of archival sources often previously unavailable in 
English, it moves beyond western-centric narratives of early phonography 
and beyond the strict confines of the recording industry. Contributions 
from media history, musicology, popular music studies, cultural studies, 
area studies and the history of science and technology make this book a 
key and innovative resource for understanding early phonography against 
the backdrop of colonial and global power relations.

With contributions from: Siel Agugliaro, Thomas Henry, Britta 
Lange,Sergio Ospina Romero, Henry Reese, Eva Moreda Rodríguez, João 
Silva,Andreas Steen, Jacques Vest,Ulrik Volgsten, Benedetta Zucconi, 
Karina Zybina.//
