knowledge that their users are expected to obtain from them. Focusing on archives that inform the production and circulation of knowledge in and about Mexico and Latin America, The Archive and the Aural City highlights sound repositories as material and epistemic entities. Through the idea of the "aural city," Alejandro L. Madrid demonstrates a shift toward an aural turn in the academy, showing how this emphasis has motivated the development of a city, and individual experience, understood through sound and listening. Madrid maps archival complexes as constellations, noting their roles in this listening mode and the (post)nationalist discourses in which they are situated. From national archives in Latin America and colonial institutions abroad, to sound exhibits, instruments, Internet-based archival projects, and through a discussion of the relevance of archives in historical moments of post-truth, Madrid follows how networks of sound and listening are created and utilized. In doing so, he argues for more democratized access to knowledge and culture as a way of understanding and participating in the aural city"-- Provided by publisher. |
