The Sonic Persona

The Sonic Persona undertakes a critical study of some of the most influential studies in sound since the 19th century in the natural sciences, engineering and architectural theory. From this critique of recent sound theories and their anthropological concepts, Holger Schulze develops an alternate and more plastic and visceral framework for research in the field of a cultural anthropology of sounding and listening. With Schulze's anthropology of sound, the individual sonic persona is to be heard in dynamic and generative tension between predetermined auditory dispositives, miniaturized sound practices and its idiosyncratic sensory body: a critique of the senses.
