The Sounds of the Future -- Conclusion. 330 $aThis book interrogates the meeting point between Afrofuturism and Black Sound Studies. Whereas Afrofuturism is often understood primarily in relation to science fiction and speculative fiction, it can also be examined from a sonic perspective.  The sounds of Afrofuturism are deeply embedded in the speculative ? demonstrated in mythmaking ? in frameworks for songs and compositions, in the personas of the artists, and in how the sounds are produced. In highlighting the place of music within the lived experiences of African Americans, the author analyses how the perspectives of Black Sound Studies complement and overlap with the discussion of sonic Afrofuturism. Focusing upon blackness, technology, and sound, this unique text offers key insights in how music partakes in imagining and constructing the future.  This innovative volume will appeal to students and scholars of sound studies, musicology and African American studies. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Sound,$x2633-5875 606 $aTechnology?Sociological aspects 606 $aMusic 606 $aAfrican Americans 606 $aTechnology in literature 606 $aScience and Technology Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22270 606 $aMusic$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/417000 606 $aAfrican American Culture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411020 606 $aLiterature and Technology/Media$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/827000 615 0$aTechnology?Sociological aspects. 615 0$aMusic. 615 0$aAfrican Americans. 615 0$aTechnology in literature. 615 14$aScience and Technology Studies. 615 24$aMusic. 615 24$aAfrican American Culture. 615 24$aLiterature and Technology/Media. 676 $a780.06 700 $aSteinskog$b Erik$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0902456 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300850603321 996 $aAfrofuturism and Black Sound Studies$92017419 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01850nam0 22004333i 450 001 VAN00278385 005 20240806101550.862 017 70$2N$a9789811935251 100 $a20240620d2022 |0itac50 ba 101 $aeng 102 $aSG 105 $a|||| ||||| 200 1 $aExpository Moments for Pseudo Distributions$fHaruhiko Ogasawara 210 $aSingapore$cSpringer$d2022 215 $axii, 343 p.$cill.$d24 cm 410 1$1001VAN00250062$12001 $aBehaviormetrics: Quantitative Approaches to Human Behavior$1210 $aSingapore [etc.]$cSpringer$d2020-$v2 606 $a60E05$xProbability distributions: general theory [MSC 2020]$3VANC024596$2MF 606 $a62Exx$xStatistical distribution theory [MSC 2020]$3VANC031447$2MF 610 $aClosed Skew Normal$9KW:K 610 $aHenze Theorem$9KW:K 610 $aNormal Mixture$9KW:K 610 $aPower Gamma Distribution$9KW:K 610 $aPseudo Distributions$9KW:K 610 $aPseudo Normal$9KW:K 610 $aPseudo t-distribution$9KW:K 610 $aSectional Truncation$9KW:K 610 $aSkew Normal$9KW:K 610 $aStripe Truncation$9KW:K 620 $aSG$dSingapore$3VANL000061 700 1$aOgasawara$bHaruhiko$3VANV230928$01274062 712 $aSpringer $3VANV108073$4650 801 $aIT$bSOL$c20241115$gRICA 856 4 $uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-19-3525-1$zE-book ?
