Soundscapes of the Urban Past Staged Sound as Mediated Cultural Heritage
Werk van
Beschrijving :
"We cannot simply listen to our urban past. Yet we have a rich cultural heritage of city sounds presented in text, radio and film, both in fictional and documentary genres. How did such "staged sounds" express the changing identities of cities? DId different formats produce different dramatizations of the experience of urban sounds? This fifth volume of the Sound Studies series presents a collection of studies on the staging of Amsterdam, Berlin and London soundscapes in historical documents, radio plays and films--as mediated cultural heritage. In addition, it offers expansions on themes such as film sound theory, missing sounds, recorded silence, urban aesthetics, the notion of soudscape and museum audio guide. In doing so, this book puts contemporary clashes over urban sound into historical perspective, and contextualises iconic presentations of cities. It will not only interest researchers and students, but also museum professionals who would like to employ sound and rethink the visually-oriented presentation of urban history in exhibitions."--Page 4 of cover.
