Накратко на български

Звуковите явления и тяхното влияние се изследват като алтернативен начин за разбиране на енергията, отвъд изгарянето на горива. Това помага на обществото да преодолее зависимостта си от фосилните горива чрез откриване на нови идеи за бъдещето на планетата.

Sonic Agency as Cognate Energies for Climate Action in Denmark/Greenland & Australia

The problem addressed here is climate change and the question of what role sounds and alternative conceptions of energies play in coping with it, slowing it down and thus preventing further damage. The Sounding Crisis project therefore investigated the concept of "sonic agency" within the climate change discourse as an alternative knowledge of "energies". In contrast to the narrow concept of "energy" in relation to sources and systems of fossil fuel and energy production, it understands "energies", with the Australian sound and energies humanities scholar Douglas Kahn, as "multi-layered and interconnected phenomena that emit sound and can be heard in productive ways". Sonic agency" is defined as "acoustic and electronically amplified and transmitted sounds as a lever for the senses and as an agent of potential change". This research is important for society because it is crucial for a liveable future for this planet to overcome the dependence of Western societies on fossil fuels by rediscovering suppressed and neglected ideas of alternative energies and developing new ones. The general objectives of the Sounding crisis research project are: - (1) to provide new insights to improve the terminology, methods and theories of sound studies in order to respond adequately to the interdisciplinary challenges of climate change - (2) to introduce the largely neglected and suppressed aspect of "sonic agency" into the multidisciplinary climate change discourse

Цел на проекта

In the face of climate crisis, my project researches the concept of ‘Sonic Agency’ within climate change discourse as an alternative knowledge of ‘energies’. In contrast to the concept of ‘energy’ in sources and systems of fuel and power generation, I understand ‘energies’ as ‘multi-faceted and interrelated phenomena that emit sound and can be listened to in productive ways’. ‘Sonic agency’ is defined as ‘acoustic as well as electronically amplified and transmitted sounds as levers to the senses and creators of potential change’. This anthropological notion of sound encompasses both the sound practices of Indigenous peoples addressing environmental issues as well as urban climate activism and its sound practices across all the sites in which it may be present, such as classical media reports, the a/v in social media, music and street protests, artistic expressions and new techniques and practices. The aim is to unveil the continuities and variations of different forms of ‘sonic agency’. The project is innovative in its understanding of ‘sound’ as an analytical point of access to the complex concept of ‘energies’. It understands sound itself as energies in three ways: (1) Sound waves as mechanical energy, (2) sound practices of urban climate activists as articulations of the so-called ‘energy unconscious’ and (3) as urban examples of the Indigenous’ notion of ‘energy intimacy’. The project will have a synchronic and diachronic perspective, as it also will refer to historic protest movements and the role of ‘sonic agency’ within them. Thus, it aims to provide new insights for enhancing the terminology, methods and theories of Sound Studies and for re-thinking the Western concept of ‘energy’. It combines in an innovative way the two novel approaches of Anthropology of Sound and Sound & Energy Studies to further elaborate the concept of ‘Sonic Agency’ and therefore contributes to the emerging field of Energy Humanities.
