A critical response to what has been called the “whiteness of sound studies,” Dylan Robinson evaluates how decolonial practices of listening emerge from increasing awareness of our listening positionality. This, he argues, involves identifying habits of settler colonial perception and contending with settler colonialism’s “tin ear” that renders silent the epistemic foundations of Indigenous song as history, law, and medicine. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith case studies on Indigenous participation in classical music, musicals, and popular music, \u003ci\u003eHungry Listening\u003c\/i\u003e examines structures of inclusion that reinforce Western musical values. Alongside this inquiry on the unmarked terms of inclusion in performing arts organizations and compositional practice, \u003ci\u003eHungry Listening\u003c\/i\u003e offers examples of “doing sovereignty” in Indigenous performance art, museum exhibition, and gatherings that support an Indigenous listening resurgence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout the book, Robinson shows how decolonial and resurgent forms of listening might be affirmed by writing otherwise about musical experience. Through event scores, dialogic improvisation, and forms of poetic response and refusal, he demands a reorientation toward the act of reading as a way of listening. Indigenous relationships to the life of song are here sustained in writing that finds resonance in the intersubjective experience between listener, sound, and space. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57316839096702,"sku":"NW9781517907693","price":20.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781517907693.jpg?v=1778681452","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/hungry-listening","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
