Listening in: Perspectives on Sound, Voice, and (Popular) Music Studies: 2

This book is a project of listening. We are putting our ears to the wall, the ground, and the very edges of discursive spaces to listen in on conversations around sound, voice, and music. In particular, young scholars make their voices heard in this second volume of the JMU CULTURAL STUDIES series. The texts which connect and even converse with each other in this volume confront the fundamental realities of historical and contemporary auditory experience, while simultaneously inviting us into the writers' own personal soundscapes and fields of interest. This conversation flows from the resonance of music across society to our listening practices, to modes of performing, to expressions of gender, and it concludes with the increasing digitalization of sound.
