The Sonic turn: Toward a sounding Sonic Materialism

New Sound, pp. 11–24

Abstract

Since the turn of the millennium, philosophy has been enriched with a new "-ism": New Materialism. However, as usual in most philosophical movements, this New Materialism is grounded in a visual paradigm and the existence of (static) objects. In order to further develop the ideas that contribute to a Sonic Materialism such as the ones conceptualized by - among others - Christoph Cox and Salomé Voegelin, I will present an Auditory Ontoepistemology as an alternative way to encounter the world.
