Sounding Out the City: Personal Stereos and the Management of Everyday Life



Sounding Out the City: Personal Stereos and the Management of Everyday Life Summary:
Publisher: Berg Publishers | pages: 216 | 2000 | ISBN: 1859733379 | PDF | 11,4 mb


This book opens up a new area of urban studies, the auditory experience of self and place. In doing so, it enhances our understanding of the role of media and technology in everyday life.
Urban, cultural and anthropological studies have been dominated by explanations of experiences drawingupon notions of visuality. But culture always has an auditory componentthat shapes attitudes and behaviour -- perhaps nowhere more so than inthe city where sound is intensified. This book challenges strictlyvisual approaches to culture by proposing an auditory understanding ofbehaviour through an ethnographic analysis of personal stereo use. Theauthor reformulates our understanding of how people, through thesenses, negotiate central experiences of the urban, such as space,place, time and the management of everyday experience, and examines the critical role technology plays.
