Today, through voice-over narration as our boundary object, we’ll discuss:
(1) What Jonathan Sterne calls the “audiovisual litany,”
(2) Michel Chion’s notions of causal listening, semantic listening, and reduced listening, and
(3) Linda MartÃn Alcoff’s claims about speaking for, about, and with others.
We’ll put them into play through two examples of what Chion calls “masking.”
We’ll conclude by reviewing prompt #3, “Found Sound.”
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

It’s time for the third entry in your audio portfolio, folks. For this one, we’ll change gears a bit, toward researching the cultural history of sound reproduction.
Before we begin, I believe I remedied the HTTP error. If you encounter it again, then let me know.
Now, for today…
We’ll start workshopping your stories for “Re: Audiography” during class on Tuesday the 19th. In the meantime, you might start not only listening to your peers’ audiographies, but also searching for some example material.

Today, we’re going to chat soundscapes, using your audiographies as examples.
Here’s what’s in store:
