Description
In Poetics of Listening, renowned sounds studies scholar Brandon LaBelle brings critical attention to listening as a practice, one that can wield significant impact onto individual, interpersonal and communal wellbeing.
From social inclusion to intersubjective understanding, deep attention to healing and repair, political recognition to ecological sensitivity, listening is fundamental to negotiating our most fundamental challenges. Through thoughtful examinations of listening's role across society, Poetics of Listening convincingly shows listening to be not only important to social struggles, but a form of poetic imagination and communion. It moves listening toward a broader application and view, which includes the ability to listen across human and more-than-human worlds, to listen into or with one's body, or to listen out for futures to come as well as addressing unfinished histories, and it challenges us to think more broadly about what it means to hear and be heard within today's complex environments.
