Rezension zu „Feiereisen, F: Germany in the Loud Twentieth Century “
"From drowning out the cacophony of modernity's urban noise to cranking up the volume in Rap and Hip Hop performances, Feiereisen and Hill, and the collection of critical essays, draw attention to the impact, production and meaning of the ever-present acoustic landscape. This engaging and pioneering anthology will change the way we hear and perceive the twentieth century." --Barbara Kosta, Professor of German Studies, University of Arizona"Listen up! This fascinating interdisciplinary study gives voice to the soundscapes of twentieth-century Germany, reconstructing the sonic traces of urbanization, war, dictatorship, division, and immigration. Sophisticated and accessible, these essays will provide compelling reading for everyone interested in German history and contemporary culture."--Hester Baer, Associate Professor of German & Women's and Gender Studies, University of Oklahoma
"This is a compelling collection, which calls upon readers to resituate the acoustic in accounts of modern experience until now largely dominated by attention to the visual. Following Adorno, it makes the case for 'thinking with our ears, ' bringing together a wide range of essays by emerging scholars in order to probe the central role played by sound in German articulations of cultural identity and critique. The anthology fairly crackles with fascinating insights on the importance of the 'heard' for 20th century German art and society - important reading for scholars and students concerned with questions of modern media cultures." --Jennifer Kapczynski, Associate Professor of German, Washington University in Saint Louis
"This interdisciplinary investigation of auditory experiences in contemporary Germany reads easily and equips the reader with theoretical tools to explore multiple connections between soundscapes and nation. Essential reading for scholars interested in hearing cultural history and its silences!" --Faye Stewart, Assistant Professor of German, Georgia S
