The Bloomsbury Handbook of the Anthropology of Sound

The Bloomsbury Handbook of the Anthropology of Sound provides a comprehensive and fully up-to-date overview of the key themes and debates relating to the academic study of sound within an anthropological context. What are the common characteristics as well as the inconsistencies of living with and around sound in our everyday lives? This fundamental question drives research in this broad and interdisciplinary area of sound studies. The handbook is structured into six sections: sonic artifacts; sounds and the body; habitat and sound; sonic desires; sounds and machines; and sensologies. Every section contains chapters that explore exemplary research objects and puts them in the context of methodological approach and research practice.
