A work of reflective philosophy, \u003ci\u003eAmplifications\u003c\/i\u003e sits at the intersection of history, creative practice, and sound studies, recounting this narrative through a series of themes (rattles, echoes, recordings, etc.). Carter offers a unique perspective on migratory poetics, bringing together his own compositions and life's works while using his personal narrative to frame larger theoretical questions about sound and migration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“This is a wonderful, exhilarating read, thoroughly original. It is personal, poetic – full of literary allusions connected to significant radio productions re-visited, re-imagined and literally remade. The text is rather like a sonic Proust meeting a John Berger for the ears, in which the themes are interwoven in order to explore the opaque layers of meaning, memory, culture and creativity within each radio artwork discussed. A tour de force!” —\u003ci\u003eMichael Bull, Professor of Sound Studies, University of Sussex, UK\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Being simultaneously an auditory autobiography and a cultural history of sound, \u003ci\u003eAmplifications\u003c\/i\u003e is an excellent example of how to productively write about sonic experiences differently. As a piece of both literary and scholarly work, this book is a fascinating read.” —\u003ci\u003eVincent Meelberg, Senior Lecturer, Department of Cultural Studies, Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands, and founding editor of the Journal of Sonic Studies\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Paul Carter's periautography is a uniquely rewarding meditation on voice and word as motion. \u003ci\u003eAmplifications\u003c\/i\u003e unquestionably amplifies the stakes in listening to the poetics and politics of sound histories.” —\u003ci\u003eSteven Feld, Anthropologist and Sound Artist, School for Advanced Research, USA\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781501344480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":40678610829518,"sku":"9781501344480","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_237bad0d-241b-4b35-9a1d-4dc401caaad2.jpg?v=1640058284","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781501344480","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
