Studying a wide range of novels, films, and radio dramas, using Dublin and Los Angeles as case studies, Annika Eisenberg asks how sounds are aestheticised to signify urban space in fiction, and how sounds allow such fictional urban spaces to be navigated, both by auscultators, the characters listening within a work of fiction, and by auditeurs, the implied audience of a fictional work. Eisenberg argues that the concept of “urban sound” is a cultural and aesthetic construct, and in doing so, she shows why aesthetics needs to be front and center in sound studies.Literary Urban Studies,2523-7896Literature, Modern20th centuryLiteratureAestheticsScienceSocial aspectsCities and townsHistorySpaceCultureTwentieth-Century LiteratureLiterary AestheticsSound StudiesUrban HistorySpace and Place in CultureLiterature, Modern20th century.LiteratureAesthetics.ScienceSocial aspects.Cities and townsHistory.Space.Culture.Twentieth-Century Literature.Literary Aesthetics.Sound Studies.Urban History.Space and Place in Culture.813.52809.93321732Eisenberg Annika1274792MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910637727603321Navigating Urban Soundscapes3003792UNINA
