Sound, Space and Sociality in Modern Japan

Beschreibung

This book examines sonic practices in contemporary Japan in a range of areas - social movements, popular culture and avant-garde art forms. It explores how the production and perception of sound is affected by the spaces in which sonic practices occur, how sonic practices reflect politics, aesthetics and ethics, and how human relations are entrenched in social and sonic practices. Overall the book makes a significant contribution to the developing field of sensory anthropology.
