Listening - 4 Weeks

Mon+Th, 6-8pm ET

4 weeks, Feb 17-March 20 

(Break March 3+6)

This is a course about listening. We analyze ideas from Salomé Voegelin's text, "The Political Possibility of Sound," as we listen to a curated set of field recordings to expose sound’s affordance over the visual domain. We discuss sensation and perception within a more-than-human context, aided by excerpts from Ed Yong’s book, An Immense World. We explore listening as an act of tending to the invisible, the intangible, and the incomplete, and we invite participants to consider how listening practices carry political and ethical significance, responsibility, and healing potential.
