Analysing archival and contemporary soundworks through a combination of post-colonial, ecological and sound studies scholarship, Mark Peter Wright recodes the Field; troubles conceptions of Nature; expands site-specificity; and unearths hidden technocultures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat exists beyond the signal? How is agency performed and negotiated between humans and nonhumans? What exactly is a field recording and what are its pedagogical potentials?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese questions are operated by a methodology of listening that incorporates the spaces of audition, as well as Wright’s own practice-based reflections. In doing so, \u003ci\u003eListening After Nature\u003c\/i\u003e posits a range of novel interventions. One example is the “Noisy-Nonself,” a conceptual figuration with which to comprehend the presence of reticent recordists. “Contact Zones and Elsewhere Fields” offers another unique contribution by reimagining the relationship between the field and studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the final chapter, Wright explores the microphone by tracing its critical and creative connections to natural resource extraction and contemporary practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eListening After Nature\u003c\/i\u003e auditions water and waste, infrastructures and animals, technologies and recordists, data and stars. It grapples with the thresholds of sensory perception and anchors itself to the question: what am I not hearing? In doing so, it challenges Western universalisms that code the field whilst offering vibrant practice-based possibilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47596768133356,"sku":"9781501392863","price":68.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781501392863-listening-after-nature.jpg?v=1777941417","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/listening-after-nature-by-dr-mark-peter-wright-9781501392863","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
