Hungry Listening: Resonant Theory for Indigenous Sound Studies - Dylan Robinson

Descriere Hungry Listening: Resonant Theory for Indigenous Sound Studies - Dylan Robinson

\n \nReimagining how we understand and write about the Indigenous listening experience? \n \nHungry Listening is the first book to consider listening from both Indigenous and settler colonial perspectives. A critical response to what has been called the whiteness of sound studies, Dylan Robinson evaluates how decolonial practices of listening emerge from increasing awareness of our listening positionality. This, he argues, involves identifying habits of settler colonial perception and contending with settler colonialism's tin ear that renders silent the epistemic foundations of Indigenous song as history, law, and medicine. \n \nWith case studies on Indigenous participation in classical music, musicals, and popular music, Hungry Listening examines structures of inclusion that reinforce Western musical values. Alongside this inquiry on the unmarked terms of inclusion in performing arts organizations and compositional practice, Hungry Listening offers examples of doing sovereignty in Indigenous performance art, museum exhibition, and gatherings that support an Indigenous listening resurgence.\n \nThroughout the book, Robinson shows how decolonial and resurgent forms of listening might be affirmed by writing otherwise about musical experience. Through event scores, dialogic improvisation, and forms of poetic response and refusal, he demands a reorientation toward the act of reading as a way of listening. Indigenous relationships to the life of song are here sustained in writing that finds resonance in the intersubjective experience between listener, sound, and space. \n
