{"product_id":"the-political-possibility-of-sound","title":"The Political Possibility of Sound","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe essay is the perfect format for a crisis. Its porous and contingent nature forgives a lack of formality, while its neglect of perfection and virtuosity releases the potential for the incomplete and the unrealizable. These seven essays on \u003ci\u003eThe Political Possibility of Sound\u003c\/i\u003e present a perfectly incomplete form for a discussion on the possibility of the political that includes creativity and invention, and articulates a politics that imagines transformation and the desire to embrace a connected and collaborative world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe themes of these essays emerge from and deepen discussions started in Voegelin's previous books, \u003ci\u003eListening to Noise and Silence\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSonic Possible Worlds\u003c\/i\u003e. Continuing the methodological juxtaposition of phenomenology and logic and writing from close sonic encounters each represents a fragment of listening to a variety of sound works, to music, the acoustic environment and to poetry, to hear their possibilities and develop words for what appears impossible. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs fragments of writing they respond to ideas on geography and migration, bring into play formless subjectivities and trans-objective identities, and practice collectivity and a sonic cosmopolitanism through the hearing of shared volumes. They involve the unheard and the in-between to contribute to current discussions on new materialism, and perform vertical readings to reach the depth of sound.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48833549205709,"sku":"9781501312168","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/1529\/9533\/files\/imageloader_e144ecf6-3438-4b78-adbb-97c95102f88c.jpg?v=1790888549","url":"https:\/\/booksatmidnight.com\/products\/the-political-possibility-of-sound","provider":"Books At Midnight","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
