Audible Past Sterne Jonathan
The Audible Past explores the cultural origins of sound reproduction. With an ear for the unexpected, scholar and musician Jonathan Sterne uses the technological and cultural precursors of telephony, phonography, and radio as an entry point into a history of sound in its own right. It describes a distinctive sound culture that gave birth to the sound recording and the transmission devices so ubiquitous in modern life.
Along the way, he encounters capitalists and Sterne studies the constantly shifting boundary between phenomena organized as "sound" and "not sound." In The Audible Past, this history crisscrosses the liminal regions between bodies and machines, originals and copies, nature and culture, and life and death.Blending cultural studies and the history of communication technology, Sterne follows modern sound technologies back through a historical labyrinth.
