JESSICA THOMPSON featured in “Acoustic Territories”

MFA candidate and adjunct instructor Jessica Thompson’s audio project Walking Machines is featured in author Brandon LaBelle’s new book Acoustic Territories: Sound Culture and Everyday Life.

“Acoustic Territories: Sound Culture and Everyday Life” offers an expansive reading of auditory life. It provides a careful consideration of the performative dynamics inherent to sound culture and acts of listening, and discusses how auditory studies may illuminate understandings of contemporary society. Combining research on urbanism, popular culture and auditory issues, Acoustic Territories opens up multiple perspectives – it challenges debates surrounding noise pollution and charts an “acoustic politics of space” by unfolding auditory experience as located within larger cultural histories and related ideologies.
