Combining a cultural history of sound with media and literary studies, ´Acoustic Entanglements´ presents a new perspective on the entangled affiliations of transnational mobility, diasporic cultural memory, embodied performance, and the material practices of aesthetic acts. Starting by reassessing Emily Dickinson´s poetry as participating in an emergent phonographic logic, this book proposes that sound in modernity assumes the capacity to cross time and space, ´entangling´ past and present, living and dead, periphery and alleged center.
From this vantage point, the study examines Lillian Allen´s dub poetry as an ethical demand for economic justice made via sound, Janet Cardiff´s audio walks as renegotiating the cultural place of Europe for a North American imaginary, and Anishinaabe artist Rebecca Belmore´s performances as voicing indigenous resilience in the present. Focusing on Canada and the US, the book brings together the fields of sound studies and transnational American studies.
