Kommentar: As cultural studies scholars tend to focus on images and image-based media, sounds tend to play a much less significant role in explorations of American culture. This course invites participants to reflect on a wide variety of American sounds, ranging from rhythms and songs to the everyday soundscape of cityspaces and the new sounds produced by the digital age. We will read and discuss new scholarship from the field of sound studies. Based on these explorations participants will conduct their own projects investigating the aural dimension of American culture.
