It takes students through six ways of conceptualizing sound and its links to other social phenomena: soundscapes; noise; sound and semiotics of the voice; sound and/through/in text; background sound/sound design; and sound art. Each chapter summarizes the history and scholarly theoretical underpinnings of these areas and concludes with a student activity that concretizes the historical and theoretical discussion via sound-making projects. With chapters designed to be flexible and non-sequential! the text fits within various course designs! and includes an introduction to key concepts in sound and sound studies! a cumulative concluding chapter with sound accompanying podcast exercise! and an extensive bibliography for students to pursue sound studies beyond the book itself.
