What is the source of this generalized principle of eavesdropping?All Ears: The Aesthetics of Espionage traces the long history of moles from the Bible, through Jeremy Bentham?s ?panacoustic? project, all the way to the intelligence-gathering network called ?Echelon.? Together with this archeology of auditory surveillance, Szendy offers an engaging account of spycraft?s representations in literature (Sophocles, Shakespeare, Joyce, Kafka, Borges), opera (Monteverdi, Mozart, Berg), and film (Lang, Hitchcock, Coppola, De Palma). Following in the footsteps of Orpheus, the book proposes a new concept of ?overhearing? that connects the act of spying to an excessive intensification of listening. At the heart of listening Szendy locates the ear of the Other that manifests itself as the originary division of a ?split-hearing? that turns the drive for mastery and surveillance into the death drive. 606 $aAesthetics 606 $aEspionage 606 $aMotion pictures$xAesthetics 606 $aMusic$xPhilosophy and aesthetics 606 $aOpera 606 $aBentham 606 $aCoppola 606 $aDeleuze 606 $aDerrida 606 $aFoucault 606 $aKafka 606 $aMozart 606 $aOrpheus 606 $aespionage 606 $asurveillance 606 $aMUSIC / History & Criticism$2bisacsh 610 $aBentham. 610 $aCoppola. 610 $aDeleuze. 610 $aDerrida. 610 $aFoucault. 610 $aKafka. 610 $aMozart. 610 $aOrpheus. 610 $aespionage. 610 $asurveillance. 615 0$aAesthetics. 615 0$aEspionage. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xAesthetics. 615 0$aMusic$xPhilosophy and aesthetics. 615 0$aOpera. 615 4$aBentham. 615 4$aCoppola. 615 4$aDeleuze. 615 4$aDerrida. 615 4$aFoucault. 615 4$aKafka. 615 4$aMozart. 615 4$aOrpheus. 615 4$aespionage. 615 4$asurveillance. 615 7$aMUSIC / History & Criticism. 676 $a327.12 700 $aSzendy$b Peter, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0625456 701 $aVégs?$b Roland$01049864 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910149580003321 996 $aAll Ears$92585727 997 $aUNINA
