Where one can find sounds one will also detect bits of fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1998, music critic, DJ and video essayist Kodwo Eshun proposed this concept in his book \u003cem\u003eMore Brilliant Than The Sun: Adventures in Sonic Fiction\u003c\/em\u003e. Originally, he did so in order to explicate the manifold connections between Afrofuturism and Techno, connecting them to Jazz, Breakbeat and Electronica. His argument, his narrations and his explorative language operations, however, inspired researchers, artists, and scholars since then. Sonic Fiction became a myth and a mantra, a keyword and a magical spell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book provides a basic introduction to \u003cem\u003esonic fiction\u003c\/em\u003e. In six chapters, it explicates the inspirations for and the transformations of this concept; it explores applications and extrapolations in sound art and sonic theory, in musicology, epistemology, in critical and political theory. Sonic fiction is presented in this book as a heuristic for critique and activism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47598347190508,"sku":"9781501334795","price":43.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781501334795-sonic-fiction.jpg?v=1777965970","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/sonic-fiction-by-professor-holger-schulze-9781501334795","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
