What is the source of this generalised principle of eavesdropping? This work 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). 606 $aOpera 606 $aMotion pictures$xAesthetics 606 $aMusic$xPhilosophy and aesthetics 606 $aAesthetics 606 $aEspionage 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aOpera. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xAesthetics. 615 0$aMusic$xPhilosophy and aesthetics. 615 0$aAesthetics. 615 0$aEspionage. 676 $a111.85 700 $aSzendy$b Peter$0625456 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154638503321 996 $aAll Ears$92469511 997 $aUNINA
