This book opens your ears to it.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost of us hear without truly listening. But what is genuine listening? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnd Another Thing I Heard\u003c\/i\u003e sets out to open your ears. Composer, artistic researcher and educator Esther Venrooij offers a rich map of the various ways we engage with sound: how it reaches the body before the mind, how it reveals space, and how it carries meaning and memory. Drawing on music, film, philosophy and fieldwork, the book moves from the reverberation of a mosque - where sound and belief are inseparable - to the echo of a parking garage, to Erich Fromm on listening as a form of love, to Spike Jonze's Her and the intimacy of a disembodied voice, and to Shoshana Zuboff's concept of surveillance capitalism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book combines theoretic reflection with hands-on exercises for artists, architects, musicians, performers, artistic researchers, educators, and anyone else who is interested in genuinely listening. Listening, as it turns out, is not a background activity. It is how we meet the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Esther Venrooij\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9462705364\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789462705364\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Leuven University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Esther Venrooij","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49002317283583,"sku":"9789462705364","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/and-another-thing-i-heard-esther-venrooij-9789462705364","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
