There is an important difference between the production and the consumption of sounds and, for historians, the contextualization is key to understanding the meaning of past sounds.<br \/>\nBy surveying recent writing on the history of sound, the lecture stresses the importance of treating sound\u2014as well as noise and silence\u2014in plural fashion, remaining attentive to how different constituencies in the past listened.\u00a0 The lecture is broadly comparative, examining the history of sound, listening, and hearing with a focus on the United States and Western Europe. It outlines how historians might reliably practice \u201csound history,\u201d explains the intellectual, conceptual, and methodological dividends of contextualizing the history of sound, and ends by suggesting future areas of historical inquiry.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>appearance at Tuned City<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tunedcity.net\/?page_id=1378\">Social Acoustemologies: Hearing Contexts \/ 09.07.11<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>lecture by This lecture asks \u2013 and answers \u2013 a fundamental question facing scholars of historical acoustemology: can we hear the sounds of the past?
