Overview

The digital turn has created new opportunities for scholars across disciplines to use sound in their scholarship. This volume's contributors provide a blueprint for making sound central to research, teaching, and dissemination. They show how digital sound studies has the potential to transform silent, text-centric cultures of communication in the humanities into rich, multisensory experiences that are more inclusive of diverse knowledges and abilities. Drawing on multiple disciplines-including rhetoric and composition, performance studies, anthropology, history, and information science-the contributors to Digital Sound Studies bring digital humanities and sound studies into productive conversation while probing the assumptions behind the use of digital tools and technologies in academic life. In so doing, they explore how sonic experience might transform our scholarly networks, writing processes, research methodologies, pedagogies, and knowledges of the archive. As they demonstrate, incorporating sound into scholarship is thus not only feasible but urgently necessary. Contributors. Myron M. Beasley, Regina N. Bradley, Steph Ceraso, Tanya Clement, Rebecca Dowd Geoffroy-Schwinden, W. F. Umi Hsu, Michael J. Kramer, Mary Caton Lingold, Darren Mueller, Richard Cullen Rath, Liana M. Silva, Jonathan Sterne, Jennifer Stoever, Jonathan W. Stone, Joanna Swafford, Aaron Trammell, Whitney Trettien

Barber * Leonardo Reviews * Digital Sound Studies offers a fascinating variety of perspectives on digital sound studies ... Works that link digital humanities and sound studies are somewhat rare, and the present volume is a rich addition to a growing body of knowledge. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals. -- M. Anderson * Choice * Digital Sound Studies fuses theory and critical thinking with creative sonic practices, a fusion that is both promising and very appealing. -- Vincent Meelberg * Journal of Sonic Studies * This text provides a contemporary possibility of classroom and research work that is innovative and communal. The essays in Digital Sound Studies examine how sound is contained but held in the body, held through the body but heard through institutions and a cacophony of additional casual, aural effects. -- Kimberly Williams * Journal for the Society of American Music *

Listen up. Be provoked. This adventurous book offers experiments, meditations, analyses, and ideas for a noisier digital humanities, for creative play with the intersection of print and sound recording, and for humanistic approaches to sound that could be rendered in the digital realm. Teachers, theorists, and scholar-artists who want to take new risks will find it timely and refreshing. --Louise Meintjes, author of Dust of the Zulu: Ngoma Aesthetics after Apartheid
