{"product_id":"noise-matters-greg-hainge-9781441160461","title":"Noise Matters: Towards an Ontology of Noise","description":"Everyone knows what noise is. Or do they? Can we in fact say that one man's noise is another teenager's music? Is noise in fact only an auditory phenomenon or does it extend far beyond this realm? If our common definitions of noise are necessarily subjective and noise is not just unpleasant sound, then it merits a closer look (or listen). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGreg Hainge sets out to define noise in this way, to find within it a series of operations common across its multiple manifestations that allow us to apprehend it as something other than a highly subjective term that tells us very little. Examining a wide range of texts, including Sartre's novel \u003ci\u003eNausea\u003c\/i\u003e and David Lynch's iconic films \u003ci\u003eEraserhead \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eInland Empire\u003c\/i\u003e, Hainge investigates some of the Twentieth Century's most infamous noisemongers to suggest that they're not that noisy after all; and it finds true noise in some surprising places. The result is a thrilling and illuminating study of sound and culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Greg Hainge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1441160469\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781441160461\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.90w x 1.00d","brand":"Greg Hainge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48153661538559,"sku":"9781441160461","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_447304e4-e19a-45fd-a012-67d591a5ce91.jpg?v=1770784979","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/noise-matters-greg-hainge-9781441160461","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
