[Pages:1]COLT 462 The Soundtracks of Our Lives
Fall 2018
Monday & Wednesday 3:30 - 4:50
Taper Hall 108
Course Description
This course focuses on a critical discussion about
notions of power developed by sound studies
scholars. The "soundtrack," for the purposes of
this course, refers less to sound technology in
cinema and more to the ways in which our daily
lives get animated, tracked, and contained
through contemporary sonic technologies. We
focus especially on conceptual and technological
ways in which the deployment and reception of
sound participates in mapping space, place, and
difference. We will also examine cultures of
resistance that function through alternate usage
of sound technologies. Readings include: Steve
Goodman, Sonic Warfare: Sound, Affect, and the
Ecology of Fear; Brandon LaBelle, Acoustic Territories: Sound Culture and Everyday Life;
Figure 1: Nik Nowak (2011)
Jennifer Stoever, The Sonic Color Line: Race and
the Cultural Politics of Listening; and Julian Henriques, Sonic Bodies, Reggae Sound Systems, Performance
Techniques, and Ways of Knowing. Additional essays will be assigned from The Sound Studies Reader edited by
Jonathan Sterne. For more information, contact Professor Edwin HILL (edwinhil@usc.edu)
