Reading Group: Sounds of War
Reading Sounds of War
The reading group session will focus on the sounds of war, liminality, and transcultural communities formed during periods of conflict. Drawing on a curated selection of recent contributions by multiple authors, we will explore the many facets of listening, hearing, and the multisensorial perception of war sounds, including music and sonic communication.
Chair: Alexandros Maria Hatzikiriakos (St Andrews)
