{"product_id":"sonic-flux-christoph-cox-9780226543178","title":"Sonic Flux: Sound, Art, and Metaphysics","description":"From Edison's invention of the phonograph through contemporary field recording and sound installation, artists have become attracted to those domains against which music has always defined itself: noise, silence, and environmental sound. Christoph Cox argues that these developments in the sonic arts are not only aesthetically but also philosophically significant, revealing sound to be a continuous material flow to which human expressions contribute but which precedes and exceeds those expressions. Cox shows how, over the course of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, philosophers and sonic artists have explored this \"sonic flux.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Through the philosophical analysis of works by John Cage, Maryanne Amacher, Max Neuhaus, Christian Marclay, and many others, \u003ci\u003eSonic Flux\u003c\/i\u003e contributes to the development of a materialist metaphysics and poses a challenge to the prevailing positions in cultural theory, proposing a realist and materialist aesthetics able to account not only for sonic art but for artistic production in general.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christoph Cox\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 022654317X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226543178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/02\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.80d","brand":"Christoph Cox","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47965715955967,"sku":"9780226543178","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_541cfce0-4eca-4611-82d7-394a4e5210fb.jpg?v=1767284314","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sonic-flux-christoph-cox-9780226543178","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
