Volume Four, Issue Two: Noise

This issue will explore and analyze the rich and complex relationships
between sound and technology in the sonic landscapes of past, present, and future. How has technology shaped the ways in which we can hear our world? How do we decide what is noise? What power struggles are laced through, covered over, or revealed by the sounds and noises that permeate existence? Do digital technologies expose a new or shifting understanding of sound and/or noise and their importance to daily living? Can a spirited examination of sound destabilize the privileged role of visuality in the study of modernity? How might we best undertake aural histories? We also encourage projects that investigate sound and noise in ways that extend
beyond a focus on music.
