Analyzing archival and contemporary soundworks through a combination of post-colonial, ecological and sound studies scholarship, Mark Peter Wright recodes the Field; troubles conceptions of Nature; expands site-specificity; and unearths hidden technocultures. What exists beyond the signal? How is agency performed and negotiated between humans and nonhumans? What exactly is a field recording and what are its pedagogical potentials? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese questions are operated by a methodology of listening that incorporates the spaces of audition, as well as Wright's own practice-based reflections. In doing so, \u003ci\u003eListening After Nature\u003c\/i\u003e posits a range of novel interventions. One example is the \"Noisy-Nonself,\" a conceptual figuration with which to comprehend the presence of reticent recordists. \"Contact Zones and Elsewhere Fields\" offers another unique contribution by reimagining the relationship between the field and studio. In the final chapter, Wright explores the microphone by tracing its critical and creative connections to natural resource extraction and contemporary practice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eListening After Nature \u003c\/i\u003eauditions water and waste, infrastructures and animals, technologies and recordists, data and stars. It grapples with the thresholds of sensory perception and anchors itself to the question: what am I not hearing? In doing so, it challenges Western universalisms that code the field whilst offering vibrant practice-based possibilities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Peter Wright\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501392867\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501392863\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/28\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.47d","brand":"Mark Peter Wright","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44540300689663,"sku":"9781501392863","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8adf8958-e67e-4fc0-8c79-e7934faa59a5.jpg?v=1700587129","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/listening-after-nature-mark-peter-wright-9781501392863","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
