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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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: \u003ci\u003eHearing the Continuum Between Plural Bodies\u003c\/i\u003e; 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47598348042476,"sku":"9781501367625","price":51.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781501367625-sonic-possible-worlds-revised-edition.jpg?v=1777965981"},{"product_id":"uncurating-sound-by-dr-salome-voegelin-9781501345401","title":"Uncurating Sound","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eUncurating Sound\u003c\/i\u003e performs, across five chapters, a deliberation between art, politics, knowledge and normativity. It foregrounds the perfidy of norms and engages in the curatorial as a colonial knowledge project, whose economy of exploitation draws a straight line from Enlightenment’s desire for objectivity, through sugar, cotton and tobacco, via lives lost and money made to the violence of contemporary art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt takes from curation the notion of care and thinks it through purposeful inefficiency as resistance: going sideways and another way. Thus, it moves curation through the double negative of not not to “uncuration”: untethering knowledge from the expectations of reference and a canonical frame, and reconsidering art as political not in its message or aim, but by the way it confronts the institution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLooking at Kara Walker’s work, the book invites the performance of the curatorial via indivisible connections and processes. Reading Kathy Acker and Adrian Piper, it speculates on how the body brings us to knowledge beyond the ordinary. Playing Kate Carr and Ellen Fullman, it re-examines Modernism’s colonial ideology and materialises the vibrational presence of a plural sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eListening to Marguerite Humeau and Manon de Boer, it avoids theory but agitates a direct knowing from voice and hands, and feet and ears that disorder hegemonic knowledge strands in favour of local, tacit, feminist and contingent knowledges that demand, like Zanele Muholi’s photographs, an ethical engagement with the work\/world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47601050845420,"sku":"9781501345401","price":45.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781501345401-uncurating-sound.jpg?v=1777994359"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/dr-salome-voegelin.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
