Description

The first-ever book to systematically and comprehensively investigate the unique sound worlds of the Global South, Sonic Perspectives from the Global Souths outlines the historical and aesthetic developments of sound practices in some of the key regions of South Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, and Africa.

It examines the sonic aesthesis and thinking in these regions in the light of a complex and fraught colonial relationship with the West to bring forward the under-engaged and often underrepresented artists and thinkers and sonic epistemologies from the Global South. The book is auto-ethnographic in approach, informed by the author’s own practice and migratory background, and draws insights from long conversations with prominent sound practitioners based in the Global South or part of their diaspora. The book traces a decolonial milieu of sounding and listening and offers embodied perspectives on the unheard reciprocity, resonant relationality, and the aural confluences.
