Beyond unwanted sound : noise, affect and aesthetic moralism / Marie Thompson. - 199 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 23 cm
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Noise is so often a 'stench in the ear' - an unpleasant disturbance or an unwelcome distraction. But there is much more to noise than what greets the ear as unwanted sound. 'Beyond Unwanted Sound' is about noise and how we talk about it. Weaving together affect theory with cybernetics, media histories, acoustic ecology, geo-politics, sonic art practices and a range of noises, Marie Thompson critiques both the conservative politics of silence and transgressive poetics of noise music, each of which position noise as a negative phenomenon.
