| Zusammenfassung: | "This book takes the reader on a sensory ethnographic tour in Japan and describes the many ways sounds seep into everyday experiences. So many ethnographies describe local worlds with a deep attention to what is seen and what people say, but with a limited understanding of the broader sonic environments that enrich and inform everyday life. Through a focus on sounds, real and imagined, the volume employs a critical ear to engage with a range of sonically enriched encounters, including: crosswalk melodies in streetscapes, announcements and jingles at train stations, water features in gardens, dosimeters in nuclear affected zones, sounds of training in music and martial arts halls, celebrations under the cherry trees. The authors use various analytic frames to understand the communicative and symbolic aspects of sounds, and to sense the layers of historical meaning, embodied action and affect associated with sonic environments. The book is supported by a website containing sound files and images collected as part of fieldwork that communicate sonic life in Japan"-- Provided by publisher |
